There is a known workaround: install from the command line. After double-clicking on the dmg to mount it: sudo installer -pkg /Volumes/wxPython2.9-osx-2.9.4.0-cocoa-py2.7/wxPython2.9-osx-cocoa-py2.7. pkg -target / http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14523 Taking a quick look at the dmg contents, it seems somewhat different from other bundle-format pkgs I've looked at. My guess is that Installer.app changed for 10.8 and is less tolerant of old packaging formats. Installer.app certainly still does support older bundle-format packages (as opposed to the 10.5+ "flat" packages which are capable of being signed), even in 10.9. The current python.org installers, for example, are still in the old format. So the wxPython package should be fixable. If support for installing on OS X 10.4 or earlier is not needed, the better solution would be to migrate to more recent packaging tools. -- Ned Deily, [email protected] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
