Hi,
I am testing a software which verifies for a package installation in the client(MAC client here) before proceeding with its job.The client software is to be configured first with the package it has to look for at the client.
For this I want to check all the installed packages in a MAC OS.This applies to both Leopard and Snow leopard.
I see there is a /Library/Receipts folder which contains a list of packages .But pkgutil when used gives a different list.Why is it so?Why does the list not match with the receipt folder contents?Is there any other way to get a wholesome list of all packages that are installed?
Moreover what's with Snow Leopard? I do not see the receipts folder anymore.How can I list the installed packages in Snow Leopard?
I greatly appreciate your help
