CharlesSoft-Pacifist
Has anyone ever used CharlesSoft-Pacifist shareware to breakup the Safari package.
I need to reinstall the WEBkit 321 from Safari 1.2.3

Yes. I did it this way (copied form another thread):
Ok, I managed to answer my own question about making software update happy. I guess I didn't fully understand the procedure for using Pacifist (which I just purchased - http://www.charlessoft.com/). What I just did was to use Pacifist to open the Safari3.2.3Leo.pkg that I downloaded from Apple at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Safari3_2_3_forLeopard. Click on the Resources tab. Inside the Safari3.2.3Leo.pkg, there is another Safari3.2.3Leo.pkg (? don't ask me). Open that (click on the triangle) to see Payload. Select Payload and click Extract To. Select a spot and remember where you put it. Either drag the resulting file (also named Payload) to the Pacifist window, or use the open command. Select Contents of Payload and click install. Say yes to all the Replace warnings; I did this as admin.
Now all the original 3.2.3 files are back in place and apparently the receipt is fixed because if I run Software Update it offers to install 4.0.2. I declined at this time, but will want to update when they get the problems fixed. That may take a while, there seem to be many.
Worked for me, use at your own risk.
BTW none of this fixes my problems with Audible (pages never finish loading) or eBay (Page not responding errors). Maybe these are Java problems? I will be using Firefox until this is fixed, although I prefer Safari.
