Obscure and kinda dusty app, but used by the very popular Backblaze software for their mailed restore drives

The installer prompts for macOS user password in an "app wants to make changes" dialog. Running with sudo still requests it.

Any way to handle this for the TestBot?

[bevanjkay]

@unitof Casks shouldn't require user intervention outside of entering your password in terminal for sudo when required.

So unfortunately this is a blocking issue.
I'm not sure a way to resolve it unless there's an alternative installation method.

@unitof We're close here now

Error: Some launch jobs were not unloaded, add them to uninstall launchctl:

[unitof]

Huh. Any other approaches or places I should look for more info?

[bevanjkay]

It may not be being removed because it is still running, so what I tried may not be actually closing it.

Hey @unitof - thanks for working on this, but it seems like although we are using sudo for the installer script it still pops another prompt that requires user intervention. As this a blocker, and the cask is "obscure" as you have mentioned, I think it's best if you pop this in your own tap.
