There is no problem, just the message is confusing. 10.2 10.3 and 10.4 all
have different ways of setting the man path. The script reports that the
10.4 file is not found (but when on 10.3 it will still happily apply the
correct fix to the right file there)

The message is wrong. It should say 10.4.

Work, not vacation next week. Anyway. I am hoping for a real update to LM
with OpenType versions that work on the Mac. That would mean I do not have
to convert anymore.

What kind of plist file?

I think XeTeX does not have a GPG signature. Maybe i-Installer is not
particularly friendly in handling a missing GPG signature?

I should look into that too.

I could use some administrative assistance in keeping track of todo's. ;-)
