Bundle installer fails: "The Bill of Materials for this package was not found."
I'm having the same problem, on the same OS (MacOSX 10.3.9), reported by Louis in the blog on January 29, 2009: The bundle installer fails to start, saying:
The Installer package "vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.34-0.1.10-ppc" cannot be
opened.
The Bill of Materials for this package was not found.
My current version was installed from
vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.30-0.1.6-panther.dmg.
The reply to Louis's note in the blog asked what /var/log/install.log showed. Here are the complete entries from two attempts to run the installer:
Feb 11 01:10:30 localhost : Vidalia - Tor - Privoxy - Torbutton Bundle Installation Log Feb 11 01:10:30 localhost : Opened from: /Volumes/vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.34-0.1.10-ppc/vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.34-0.1.10-ppc.mpkg Feb 11 01:10:30 localhost : Hardware Model: PowerMac4,4 @ 999 MHz, 768 MB Feb 11 01:10:30 localhost : Running OS Build: 7W98 Feb 11 01:10:30 localhost : Installer Language: English Feb 11 01:11:12 localhost : Vidalia - Tor - Privoxy - Torbutton Bundle Installation Log Feb 11 01:11:12 localhost : Opened from: /Volumes/vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.34-0.1.10-ppc/vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.34-0.1.10-ppc.mpkg Feb 11 01:11:12 localhost : Hardware Model: PowerMac4,4 @ 999 MHz, 768 MB Feb 11 01:11:12 localhost : Running OS Build: 7W98 Feb 11 01:11:12 localhost : Installer Language: English
Here is Louis's original note:
Re: Installation latest version of Tor On January 29th, 2009 Louis (not verified) said:
I need some assistance please. I am a basic computer user but I have been able to install Tor which I have been using daily for months now. My OS is MacOsx Panther 10.3.9 and the Tor bundle installed is 0.2.0.31. The OS is being operated from an external HD.
I am no longer able to upgrade to the latest Tor versions (0.2.0.33) because as soon as I open the installer package of the new version I get the error message:
The Installer package "vidalia-bundle - 0.2.0.33-0.10-ppc" cannot be opened.
The Bill of Materials for this package was not found.
I have tried several times with the same result. I have tried moving the old Tor, Privoxy and Vidalia folders to the trash but I still get the error message!. Am I doing something wrong? I have always upgraded to new stable versions of Tor this way.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Louis
