Thank you for the report. Verified as described. Same issue in Tiger packages.

This is a duplicate of Bug#25008 and will probably be fixed in the next .dmg releases.

Description: The startup item package appears not to have the startup item script in it and shows and installs no files. Although the empty package installs successfully without any error in the Installer utility. There is no startup item present in /Library/Startup Items/ MySQLStartupItem.pkg Long-term, you might consider transitioning this to a launch daemon or launch agent instead of a startup item. How to repeat: Command: lsbom /Volumes/mysql-5.0.51a-osx10.5-x86/MySQLStartupItem.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom Result: . 40755 0/0 You can also double-click the package to open it and choose File > Show Files and see that it shows no files in the listing. The Archve.pax.gz file is 1 K and the entire package is about 60 K, which seems small, even for a startup item. Suggested fix: Rebuild the startup item package and verify that it contains the files to install or make a Launch Agent or Launch Daemon instead.
