- Jack,
- There is a bug in /NextAdmin/Installer.app/chunkPackage which exhibits
- this behaviour when you don't use the -d option, or if the argument to -d
- is ".".
-
- The fix is to change chunkPackage as follows:
-
- 117c117
- < set destDir = . # OLD
- ---
- > set destDir = `/bin/pwd` # NEW
-
- A workaround is to always use the -d option with an absolute pathname.
-
- I hope this helps you and others,
