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've uploaded a new installer to http://homagepages.mac.com/
ronaldoussoren, its the file python-2.5c2-macosx2006-09-17.dmg.
Could you please test if this fixes the installation problems for you? I'd really
appricate if you could post the contents of the installer log if installation
failed (in Installer.app use the menu File -> Show Log, then select 'Show
Everything', save that file and add it to this bug).
This version has two minor changes w.r.t. the previous one:
1) the application subpackage won't try to install a custom icon on the
MacPython 2.5 folder. After reading some pages on the interweb I'm starting
to believe that installing a custom icon will require a postinstall script and
that's not something I want to add at this point of the release cycle (if ever).
2) the fixsystempython subpackage won't abort the installation when the
system python's Makefile was patched by someone else.

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.
