Summary: 2.5c2 macosx installer aborts during "GUI Applications"

Initial Comment:
When I run the installer in
python-2.5c2-macosx2006-09-12.dmg, it continues until
the "GUI Applications" phase, during which it fails
saying "There were errors installing the software.
Please try installing again". (Which doesn't work.)

I noticed that at the same moment it does this,
Console.app's console.log window adds the following line:

2006-09-14 19:12:21.568 Installer[1884] Exception
raised during posting of notification.  Ignored. 
exception: Some files for PythonApplications-2.5 may
not have been written correctly. (code 1)

I've also determined that if I try installing again,
but this time click Customize on the Installation Type
screen, then uncheck "GUI Applications 2.1MB", the
installation proceeds successfully.

I'm running OS X 10.3.9 on PowerPC.

I had some problems with pax(1) when I created the installer, and specifically 
with the "MacPython 2.5" folder in /Applications which should have a custom 
icon.

I'm going to rebuild the 2.5c2 installer tomorrow, but without a custom icon on 
the "MacPython 2.5" folder. Would you be available for testing? I have a 10.3.9 
box, but didn't have this problem when I tested the installer there (earlier this 
week).

BTW, neither 2.5b3 nor 2.5c1 have this problem with the
installer.
