I am running Mac OS X version 10.5.8. I have repaired all my permissions and run software update. Please help. Thank you.

I got the same error message one month ago when the update was released. I had not the time to look into the issue and I don't use Ventrilo very often, so I just ignore the update available notice. I re-open my Ventrilo today, get the same update notice, try to update again, with unfortunately the same result. Then I find this thread with no effective solution.
So, I tried to understand the actual issue and resolved it by myself. I have opened my terminal to get the actual content of the
pkg file. It at this point that I have found an other
pkg file (
mpkg in fact) inside the pkg. Therefore, I have extracted the
mpkg file from the pkg and try to execute it, with success!
With more research, I have find out that the issue was my unzip application (Zipeg) and not the Ventrilo packaging itself. Each time Zipeg extract a
zip, it create a directory called by the name of the
zip file (without the
.zip extension) and then put the
zip content in it. Since the
zip file is called
ventrilo-3.0.13-Darwin-universal.pkg.zip, the directory is called
ventrilo-3.0.13-Darwin-universal.pkg. So, OS X see this directory as a
pkg file and try to execute it. That is our real issue.
How to upgrade/install Ventrilo to the latest version (3.0.13)
1. Delete all the Ventrilo package file, extract or not, that you might have already downloaded.
2. Download the latest version of Ventrilo with your web browser.
3. Open a new Terminal window.
4. Go where you have downloaded the file, usually the Download directory.
5. Unzip the zipped file.
Code:
unzip ventrilo-3.0.13-Darwin-universal.pkg.zip
6. Close the Terminal window and open a Finder window.
7. Go where you have downloaded and extracted the file, usually the Download directory.
8. Try to execute the
VentriloClient.mpkg file.
9. Enjoy!
Tell me if this short how-to have solved your issue.
