Grrr. Never mind. For posterity, I ran prodreg and it looks like there were the ghosts of previously installed companion packages - maybe all of them. All with yellow "!". I did a full uninstall of all of them and the companion installer is now working OK.
All I can think is that i must have nuked /opt at some point without actually going through a formal uninstall. I don't remember that at all, or even that I ever installed anything from the companion before, but as they say, the memory is the _second_ thing to go. Actually, I do sort of remember asking about this before and getting told to run prodreg.... It would sure be nice if the installer gave some more useful error than "not installed' to keep fools like me from endless loops.
