I'm using macOS Monterey v12.5.1 with the M1 chip.
I'm trying to install MacTeX (https://www.tug.org/mactex/mactex-download.html), i.e. MacTeX.pkg, but all I get is the message that the package installed successfully without anything actually being installed.
I reran the installation using
sudo installer -dumplog -pkg MacTeX.pkg -target / > install.log 2>&1
and got the following log:

I'm having the same problem with BasicTeX.pkg. No idea how to proceed.
CodePudding user response：
Apparently, Chromium browsers corrupt the MacTeX.pkg-file during the download, which is a known problem: https://www.tug.org/mactex/faq/faq.html#qm01
I redownloaded the file through Safari and now the install works.
