OSX Lion configurations no longer compile

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure what's happened to our OSX Lion configurations but none will compile anymore. I would like to have added a screen capture of the very long error dialog that Casper Imaging displays but I couldn't work out how to do this. Anyway, I've managed to extract the relevant details from logs.

The Casper Imaging error dialog showed the following:

The install log showed the following:

Apr 20 14:55:15 packaging-imac installer[491]: Install failed: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
-------------------------------------------------------------

What captured my attention is the "CSSMERR_TP_CERT_EXPIRED" word in the error message.

Our Casper Dev server is running JSS 8.51, but exactly the same problem exists in our Casper Prod JSS 8.31.

The OSX Lion configuration I'm trying to compile consists of only the following two items:
Apple_OSXInstallESD_10.7.2.dmg
JavaForOSXLion_2012_003.pkg

Has anyone else come across the same problem? I really don't know where to go from here, so any advice/suggestions would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

Ron.

Hi,

you can make a screen shot of that immensely long window by pressing command+shift+4, release, then press the space bar and select the whole dialog window. The screen capture then does indeed capture the whole dialog window...

The errors looks very much like your image sources are unpatched and thus affected by the recent package apocalypse (i.e. have expired package signatures).

Try turning back your computer's date two months, or fix your packages as outlined here: http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/fixing-packages-with-expired-signatures/

Good luck,
Christoph

Yes, you're likely using an old Lion installer that now has an expired certificate. The part that caught your attention, "CSSMERR_TP_CERT_EXPIRED" is the clue.

It will need to be repaired per the instructions posted by cvgs or you can try obtaining a new installer from the Mac App Store, which will have the new certificate present.

Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for the responses. The suggestion that Christoph made worked absolutely brilliantly for me. I am so delighted that my configurations are compiling again, and I can't believe the calibre of expertise available on this forum!

Cheers,

Ron.
