Mac only Comm Rel build 
2000-04-05-08 M15

Steps to repro:
1)Install Seamonkey via the Netscape6-mac.Installer.sea.bin  in the 
ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/macos/8.x/ppc/2000-04-05-08-M15/
directory.
2)After the install is complete, launch seamonkey.
3)Look at the Tasks Switcher, and also pull down the Tasks menu.

Actual results:
IM is missing from the Tasks menu and the Task switcher.You cannot invoke aim at 
all.
Notes: If I install Seamonkey via uncompressing the " Netscape6-mac.sea.bin " 
file in the same directory, Aim is present in task bar and switcher.
Severity: major → blocker
Priority: P3 → P1
After reading step 2), this might not be an installer problem.

Syd, could this be yours?
Sounds like a packaging issue.  We need to diff the installed product (with NIM) 
versus the uncompressed product.  Grace?

Adding jj to the cc list.
This is most likely a packaging issue.  If there's a new file or file name 
change in the code that has not been updated in 
ns/xpinstall/packager/packages-mac, the build will probably choke on it, like it 
is now.

The module owner is responsible for maintaining their list of files in the 
packages-[platform] file.

JJ, can you help out?  I don't know who the module owner of NIM is, and I don't 
have a mac build from today.
I'm looking at this now with Grace's help.

Suzanne, did you try using netscape6-mac (.sea file) instead of 
netscape6installer ? Do you get the same result?
(this is important to isolate packaging issues)

Reassigning to me.

In the original notes, I did say the uncompressed file you mentioned works fine 
with no missing items.
Sorry Suzanne, I missed that part. :-\
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
removing blocker status since there is a workaround of using the sea rather than 
the installer to access AIM (not to mention the fact that the verification mac 
refusese to checkout this morning so no builds til jj gets in).
