Oct 9, AM in response to hazlitt. Oct 9, AM. I wanted this information because I had a problem upgrading iPhoto to 9. It was suggested I may need to reinstall Mac OS entirely. If I was going to have to do that, which would take days as I use a lot of large proprietary software implementations such as Adobe Creative Suite which would also have to be deactivated, reinstalled and reactivated, I decided to try to fix it myself.
I know that Apple prefers we don't look at our filesystems this way, however, it has been maintained in many court decisions that the contents of our hard drives are ours to do with as we please.
The update refused to install even after I uninstalled iPhoto and asked it to reinstall. I viewed my Console when attempting to upgrade iPhoto and saw that it was attempting to access a PKG file called:.
Upon searching my filesystem with a command in terminal, I discovered that the corrupted PKG file was located at:. This location is likely to be referenced by an internal OS database, and I basically just had to hope that removing the file would allow the database to clear the entry and force the PKG file to download again.
I deleted the file and restarted, asked iPhoto to install in the App Store, and everything went smoothly. After 20 or so other attempts, following Apple's support info, and asking colleagues, this was the ONLY solution to the problem without completely reinstalling Mac OS.
It's interesting that we don't find much information about these storage locations or information about solving App Store problems when PKG files get corrupted during transfer or installation, it's likely that Apple scrubs this information from the Apple Support Communities and I'll be curious to see how long this post lasts on the site.

Follow the onscreen instructions. I do not wish to reinstall, so I quit the installer, but now I cannot find it. Where would the App Store have downloaded it to? Since the location is generated in a different spot, you have to crawl the filesystem to locate the folder s that contain these files.
Ever since macOS Catalina In contrast to Mojave and earlier, you will now see an additional folder while downloading files from the App Store.
This agent folder is the newer location where the temporary subfolder resides for preflight and downloading the actual package ; until installed. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
