***Mark (markjallan)** [reported (on Launchpad)](https://bugs.launchpad.net/sparkle/+bug/639950) on' 2010-09-15:*

Using Sparkle in my app, it fails to update properly on a machine
running 10.4. It finds the updated version and downloads it
successfully but never gets to the point of asking the user to "install
and restart".

Digging around in /var/tmp I found the expanded version of my updated
app, so Sparkle is obviously verifying the download and expanding it but
failing shortly afterwards.

Launching my app's binary directly from the terminal, the following gets
printed to stderror immediately after the download completes and my app
disappears instead of showing the "install and relaunch" dialog.

ditto: chmod failed
Broken pipe

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Cheers,
M
