I am working on a tool that can uninstall any arbitrary package or set
of packages based on package receipts, package identifiers or
packages. In the course of testing on Growl (com.growl.growl.pkg), I
noticed that the Growl 1.2 package metadata seems to be incorrect.
In particular, Growl specifies BOTH a default install location of
"Library/PreferencePanes" and has all its package paths rooted with
"Library/PreferencePanes":
%uninstall -n --remove all com.growl.growl.pkg
============================================================================
Uninstalling "com.growl.growl.pkg"...
Searching for package identifier for "com.growl.growl.pkg"...
Uninstalling by identifier: "com.growl.growl.pkg"...
from location: "/Library/PreferencePanes/"...
Would remove: /Library/PreferencePanes/Library/PreferencePanes/
Growl.prefPane/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/WebKitPrefs.nib
Would remove: /Library/PreferencePanes/Library/PreferencePanes/
Growl.prefPane/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/Localizable.strings
...
Compare this with other similar packages:
%uninstall -n --remove all /Library/Receipts/TiVoDesktop.pkg
============================================================================
Uninstalling "/Library/Receipts/TiVoDesktop.pkg"...
Uninstalling by path: "/Library/Receipts/TiVoDesktop.pkg"...
Uninstalling package: "TiVoDesktop.pkg"...
from location: "/"...
Would remove: /Library/StartupItems/TiVoDesktop/TiVoDesktop
Would remove: /Library/StartupItems/TiVoDesktop/
StartupParameters.plist
Would remove: /Library/StartupItems/TiVoDesktop
Would remove: /Library/StartupItems
Skipping restricted directory...
Would remove: /Library/QuickTime
Would remove: /Library/PreferencePanes/TiVoDesktop.prefPane/
Contents/Resources/tivo.icns
...
%uninstall -n --remove all com.apple.pkg.X11User
============================================================================
Uninstalling "com.apple.pkg.X11User"...
Searching for package identifier for "com.apple.pkg.X11User"...
Uninstalling by identifier: "com.apple.pkg.X11User"...
from location: "/"...
Would remove: /usr/X11R6
Would remove: /usr/X11/var/cache/fontconfig
Checking directory: /usr/X11/var/cache/fontconfig
Would remove: /usr/X11/var/cache
Checking directory: /usr/X11/var/cache
