munki doesn't directly manipulate receipt info in /var/db/receipts; instead it uses pkgutil to do so. I don't
understand how you are having receipts in /var/db/receipts that aren't also in the pkgutil database in Snow
Leopard.

We have been using munki with Snow Leopard since last summer and using pkgutil instead of directly
manipulating the contents of /var/db/receipts has been a successful approach.

The entries are in the pkgutil database but still does not get removed unless i use
my patch. Here is the output from one of my pkgs using the 'pkgutil --pkgs' command

pkgutil --pkg-info firefox

package-id: firefox
version: 1
volume: /
location:
install-time: 1275338706

Here is the error i get in ManagedSoftwareUpdate.log :
..
Importing /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.update.security.2009.004.bom...
ERROR: firefox not found in database.
ERROR: Uninstall of Firefox failed.

Ok i just finished modifying initDatabase() with the idea you gave me. Hopefully
this fixes the problem we discussed. I tested it on a 10.5 and 10.6 client and it
seemed to work. Since i was having trouble with whitespacing when creating a diff i
decided to paste the function on pastebin @ http://pastebin.com/6mm2SzQr . Let me
know what you think.

Thanks again for help, Dan

Thanks.

I'll look at your proposed fix, but I want to avoid importing the receipts twice under Leopard (once from pkgutil
and once from /Library/Receipts/boms) so I may tweak it.

I went with a simpler fix -- it's in Revision 541 http://munki.googlecode.com/svn-history/r541/trunk/code/client/munkilib/removepackages.py jdroque, can you please test?

Just tested it on my 10.6 client and it worked as expected. Need to test on a 10.5
machine but i'm sure it will work just fine. Thanks for the fix.
