Hi. I've got two separate packages which I'd like to bundle together into a metapackage but I want only one of them to be installed depending on the target machine's OS version.

I've set up each package's requirements such that the 10.3 package will only install if the computer is running 10.3.x (actually >=10.3 && <10.4) and, similarly, the 10.4 package will only install if OS >=10.4.

Both of those work correctly when run on their respective OSs. The problem arises when I throw them both together into a metapackage; no matter which machine I try to install on, the mpkg fails.

If I try on 10.3 the metapackage tells me I need 10.4 and vice versa! Can anyone help please? I've got a lot of angry users looking for this update and my offering two discrete packages is not an option.

Thanks

I finally got this sorted. By examining the iLife '05 install DVD (after noticing that it was refusing to install iTunes but the rest of the package was happy to continue), I spotted the following key in the iTunes4.pkg/Contents/Info.plist

IFPkgFlagIsRequired boolean NO

My own individual packages had been created with that flag set to YES. Switching it to NO had the magical effect of making it work correctly!

Thanks for the info and finding the solution. I'm working on using the package manager and don't do a lot of OSX programming. You may have helped me find a solution to one of my issues with the Package Manager!

Thanks!
