That is a warning that the packing list included a directory delete request, but there were still files in it. It could be a bug in the plist (not specifying all the files the package installed), or it could be a shared directory that another package installed other files into. Regardless, it's just a warning and the package was deleted. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
