I encountered this same thing on my G5 at work a few days ago; I  
meant to post to the list about it.

For me it was owned by a user who hasn't been here for months, but  
might've been the first user added to the system when it was  
initially set up; I don't know.

I installed a handful of other .mpkg's from that site the same day  
and only PIL gave me problems.
