[QUOTE][u]Quote by: thegooch49[/u][p]Hello, building a 10.5.8 image I have a bad mail.app and console.app. Mail is at v3, console at 1.5.0. I used a 10.5.0 retail base, and 10.5.8 combo updater. My code is old instadmg1.4

[/p][/QUOTE]

You need to use 1.4b4. It contains the fix for old software versions.

Ok, sorry to keep beating on this thread. iLifeSlideshow didn’t install because I didn’t have iLife in that image. It must be there to get installed. Dur.

[magnusviri]

Oh, I just noticed realized iLifeSlideshow_103 didn’t install. :/

Well, there are some differences between what InstaDMG produced and what running the updates using Apple’s Software Update app (both built of the same dvd install). But the differences were remarkably small and probably not a problem. This is what is in my InstaDMG updates:

10.5.0 DVD

MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8.pkg
QuickTime762_Leopard.pkg
AirPortUtility_Leopard.pkg (5.3.2)
AirPortUtility.pkg (5.4.2)
iTunes.mpkg (8.2.1)
JavaForMacOSX10.5Update4.pkg
FrontRowUpdate2.1.7.pkg
HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg
ProRuntime.pkg (5.0)
iLifeSlideshow_103.pkg (from iLifeSupport 903)

Ok it looks like that if you have iLife installed, then it will try to install iLifeSupport 903 *before* it applies 10.5.8 (I think).

And regarding Safari 4.0.2. 10.5.8 does not include several files that are part of the Safari 4.0.2 package, for example:

./usr/bin/xml2-config 100755 0/0 1599 4036109922
./usr/bin/xmlcatalog 100755 0/0 55648 3881220416
./usr/bin/xmllint 100755 0/0 96640 2924736576
./usr/share/doc/libxml2-2.6.16/*
./usr/share/man/man1/pubsub.1 100644 0/0 3708 89064510
./usr/share/man/man1/xml2-config.1.gz 100644 0/0 605 1501407451
./usr/share/man/man1/xmlcatalog.1.gz 100644 0/0 1874 3207053110
./usr/share/man/man1/xmllint.1.gz 100644 0/0 3486 1420467631
./usr/share/man/man3/libxml.3.gz 100644 0/0 859 4097268248

But I installed the packages using Apple’s installer and that box had these files… so I don’t know where they came from. Anyway, I’m just going to run InstaDMG and see what it makes.

10.5.8 includes Safari 4.0.2 and actually has a newer version of iLifeMediaBrowser (2.0.4 in 10.5.8, 2.0.3 in the 903 update) but it is missing iLifeSlideshow. Weird…

I’m going to create an image of 10.5.8 in a minute and if it works, this issue is momentarily solved.

[magnusviri]

I suppose a possible solution to this is for someone to re-create the Safari and iLife packages. That would mean installing it and finding what got installed.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: dead2sin[/u][p]The easiest solution I found for this issue is this:

I installed a fresh copy of 10.5 on my machine and installed only one update (10.5.7). Everything else I ignored. In fact, I turned off auto download for software updates so it wouldn’t bug me. Also, I deleted the receipts for anything that had caused me issues in the past.
[/p][/QUOTE]

I just tried it and it doesn’t work for me. This is really aggravating. I’ve been working on it all week and it has to get done asap. I wish there were something we could do to fix this and not wait on Apple. I suppose my only option to get this done now is to not use InstaDMG or try to hack InstaDMG myself to fix this.

[magnusviri]

How stupid. So I went and looked at the other posts that show similar problems. It looks like installing the wrong security update is a common problem. So I checked myself. Well, it turns out that on Apple’s website on the download page, it lists the security updates, but it doesn’t make it obvious which version the update is for, 10.4 or 10.5, you have to view the detailed description to see. Sure enough, I installed the 10.4 version on my 10.5 disk. Dur.
