createOSXinstallPkg + First Boot Package Install Generator - install error- The package %@ is missing or invalid

[MAJ007]

Hi

I have noticed on certain machines during an upgrade when tailing the
install log i see the following error:

installer[60829]: External component packages (1) trustLevel=100 (trust
evaluation failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=106 "The package
“%@” is missing or invalid." UserInfo=0x7faee8cd74e0
{NSLocalizedDescription=The package “%@” is missing or invalid.,
identifier=com.googlecode.munki.installosx.pkg})

I used First Boot Package Install Generator to create distribution style
first boot package. I am not sure why its only happening on certain
machines.

Any idea?

If prompted for pwd leave field blank.

Is there an actual problem here? Looking at the error report you pointed to, the pkg seems to install normally after printing that warning.

I don't use First Boot Package Install Generator, and I have not seen this. Of course, if this is just log noise and the pkg does install properly, it's possible it's happening and I just haven't noticed.

Thanks for the response Greg. Its a bit of a strange one as i see it from time to time on random machines. I know the full log says its installed but the machine reboots back into 10.10 (original OS). Ill then try install the package again and it will work no explanation. The subsequent successful install wont have the line in the install.log...“%@” is missing or invalid."

That seems to imply a bad download/file transfer of some sort -- if it fails once, but succeeds later with the same package and the same hardware. I also notice you are using Casper, which adds yet another variable to the process.

Its an https pull from a webdav file share... Im leaning towards an issue with the transfer or when the machine extracts the downloaded pkg.zip. Thanks for your help though... I've been using createosxinstallpkg since it was son-of-installlion-pkg. I owe you multiple beverages.
