Packaged Apps showing up as ‘classic’ Apps on Leopard

[mgb123]

I’m building a 10.5 image on a G5 running 10.5.2.

I’m using LogGen/Pkgen/Packagemager and it’s worked in the past. I know I’m doing something odd- but I have no idea what it might be. I’m trying to package up Office 2004 specifically.

I’ve rechecked my packaging steps, and I haven’t changed anything that I’m aware of (I’m sure I must have missed something).

Anyone have something like this happen?

I’d guess you’re missing some important pieces of the apps, but you probably could have guessed that.

Do you have any objection to dragging and dropping the pieces from the LogGen reports into a manually-created Packagemaker package? My inexperience with Packagemaker is showing, but if it is anything like Iceberg dragging and dropping the folders created by the installer would ensure you have everything.

Of course, not everything lends itself to making a package via drag and drop, but Office 2004 isn’t too bad.

I ran into this issue when I accidentally packaged apps as root.
It was a permission error.
Once I corrected the owner and removed the accidental sticky bit… it worked.
give that a try…. you never know
