10.5.2 and Composer 5.11

[#1]

Has anyone else had issues with 10.5.2 and Composer 5.11? Every time I try
to create a .pkg file from a DMG image (through the conversion process) I
get a 'Exception of class NilObjectException that was not handled' error and
then composer quits. This only started happening when I upgraded to 10.5.2.

Here is what I have in Console log for Composer around this time:

And for package maker:

Any takers?

I had the exact same problem this morning on a 10.5.2 client. Worked on 10.4.11. At least it is not just me!

I am unable to reproduce this with a simple package. Worked fine. What is the software title?

Are you doing this on a machine that has Xcode dev tools installed or not?

10.5.2 on a Mac Pro, Composer 5.11

I installed Xcode 3.0 and I did get the same error.

Composer doesn't even recognize Xcode 2.5...nice. =)

So you aren't losing your mind.
