Hi Michael,

To be clear, I didn’t write to William, I wrote to the list to which he replied.

On the main download page it does not state anything about installation order. 
I did not install GDAL first. Then I got several other errors. If it happened 
to me, I can only assume it will happen to others.

I am just throwing out a couple super simple steps that might make ones 
experience more pleasant - or with the permissions issue keep them from being 
able to use it at all.

It has actually happened with the betas for me I just neglected to report it. 
As it is, the package leaves a folder that the user will not have permission to 
access. This should not be a difficult thing to reproduce or fix. I would 
suspect that the folder is owned by root because root permissions are required 
to install, and you likely just need to clean up the permissions as I suggested.

Good news is your package can be fixed without even rebuilding the package - 
just take a look at the postflight script.
