Hi!

Lion 10.7.3 on mid-2011 iMac i5: I can't install anything from .pkg files. Every single attempt ends with the yellow triangle and "Installation failed".

In the log, the error is always the same:


PackageKit: Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112 "An error occurred while running scripts from the package

I have tried:

-repairing permissions
-repairing drive from restore partition
-wiping everything with Onyx
-reinstalling 10.7.3 Combo
-reinstalling Lion from Recovery
-trying to install from new user account
-installing in safe mode

Nothing works. Always the same error.

How can I get this fixed without starting from scratch or restoring from Time Machine (have really bad experience doing that).

UPDATE: Pacifist is able to install those packages correctly.
