Packages Raw Package Support for Locations like /private

[uurazzle]

Hi:

Thanks for developing your Packages application. I ran into an issue where Raw Packages doesn't support items in locations like /private. Support for this location would help to repackage installers like Visual Studio which have items in...

/private/etc/paths.d/dotnet /private/etc/paths.d/dotnet-cli-tools /private/etc/paths.d/mono-commands

The Packages application with drag-n-drop these files strips the path "/private/etc/paths.d" and tries to place it at the root of the file system. This in turn causes an error with the installer, because the installer is trying to install into OS-protected areas.

Interesting… I will try to see if I can reproduce this issue.

Tried to reproduce the problem. I don't see any issue with the installation of files inside /private/etc.

Can you provide detailed reproduction steps?
