Category: Macintosh Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: Evan (evanpowers) Assigned to: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Date: 2006-09-17 13:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=580910 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Evan (evanpowers) Date: 2006-09-16 01:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1598476 Yes, I'll be available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Date: 2006-09-15 18:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=580910 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). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Evan (evanpowers) Date: 2006-09-15 17:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1598476 BTW, neither 2.5b3 nor 2.5c1 have this problem with the installer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-09-15 06:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Assigning to Ronald so he sees this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-09-15 06:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Assigning to Anthony so he sees this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1558983&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
