Uninstaller only runs once

[Jamie]

I've created a simple pkg that uses rm to delete all the files installed.  After running some tests, it seems this uninstall pkg only works the first time.  

Run installer - result, files installed

Run uninstaller - result, files removed

Run installer - result, files installed

Run uninstaller - result, files NOT removed

Any idea what's going on?

[Jamie]

It looks like installer is recognizing that an install already happened and is tagging this as an upgrade.  Is there a way to override this?

The package is setting a receipt.  When you run it a second time, installer correctly sees that it is already installed.  If you want to run it again you can remove the receipt with the pkgutil command.
