Hi,
It seems I'm doing inappropriately something with i-Installer and its
ability to warn about Updates: Hope for help to get my copy of i-Installer
properly working:
1. I start up i-Installer
2. I confirm Accept to the Unsupported software alert.
3. I confirm Dismiss to the i-Installer Start-up alert (Version 2.88).
i-Installer doesn't alert me for the newest updates, which worries me,
because there
is some update:
4. i-Installer -> i-Package -> Open Updated i-Packages
5. I click [Now] in the Warning:Might be slow! alert. 6. All i-Packages
files in your
local default save directory have been checked. [OK]
But the FontForge has been updated:
- I somehow think that I got it installed in one or other way at some
point of time.
- I really do not see anything called FontForge inside
~/Documents/i-Packages/.
So, I just did:
7. i-Installer -> i-Package -> Known Packages i-Directory...
I selected FontForge -> [Open i-Package] -> [Pkg Properties]
I see that I do have it (somewhere):
Installed: Different: 2006/10/29 23:59:25
I just clicked [Install].
I am now worried: why I did not get the Update warning? It seems to me
that the
receipt is at some hidden to i-Installer.
Just in case, I'm including below what I've noticed now in the Terminal
where I checked what I have:
Before the enforced by me Install:
