Trying to install MySQL from the Complete MySQL package. Working remotely. I mount the dmg using hdiutil. I cd into the /Volumes/MySQL dir. I run
installer -dumplog -pkg MySQL.pkg -target /
The output shows:
installer: Package name is MySQL
installer: Upgrading volume mounted at /.
installer: The upgrade was successful.
Installation Log:
Executing preupgrade ...
ERROR:Could not open archive file. - pax: error 2:Failed open to read on MySQL.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz - No such file or directory
...
at which point the rest of the install fails. This is odd cuz the file ref'd by pax most definitely exists and is mode 777.
The really weird part comes next though. The terminal is now totally screwed. Only about every 3rd key makes it through, and sometimes it's the wrong key. Firing up a fresh terminal and reconnecting get everything back to normal.
