Failing on "unreleased" packages

I create a number of packages which I have been
installing on test systems with no problem.
However, on a new installation of 6.2.1 I am getting
the message:

“The package is unreleased and may not be installed”

from cl-installer. The package installs fine on my
development PC, so I imagine there is something wrong
with the target machine. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for any answers

Check the clock on your target machine. The installers ensure that the
ReleaseDate of the package has been reached before that package can be
installed (note that this rule is not enforced in 6.2.1 and later versions).

Thanks. The date was set to Match 14th

(note that this rule is not enforced in 6.2.1 and later versions).

Really? I am using 6.2.1

uname -a

QNX target 6.2.1 2003/01/18-02:12:22est x86pc x86

Thanks very much for your help (and for such a quick reply).
