I have two packages which are related, but not the same problem. A server component and a client component. I have configured the packages to use different package identifiers however as soon as I install one package any previous installation of the related package is removed. It seems like the Installer is finding the related package and considers the install to be an upgrade and removes any previously installed files. The result is that I can only have one or the other package installed at any point in time.

Looking in the installer Log shows:

Jan 18 02:10:14 Wolf Installer[944]: package.pkg : com.addressbookserver.AddressBookClient : 0.12

[snip]

Jan 18 02:21:41 Wolf Installer[1089]: package.pkg : com.addressbookserver.AddressBookServer : 0.12

The documentation mentions that the package identifier should be unique however it still seems to be able to construct a match for it.

Any suggestion on what I need to configure for both packages to be installed at the same time.


Both your packages are named "package.pkg". When you install one, it deletes the other :-)

You need both unique package identifier and package name, or the package will remove the other one when installing.

You better ask about installer issues in the installer-dev list: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/
