@RK78 Very clever use of the Safari18.1.1.VenturaAuto.pkg!

EDIT: I, too, am running Ventura 13.7.2 with Safari 18.1.1.

EDIT2: @RK78 Your recommended use of Safari18.1.1.VenturaAuto.pkg fixed my borked Ventura volume. I hadn't yet trashed my test volume that had been upgraded to Ventura 13.7.2 with Safari 18.2. By installing Safari18.1.1VenturaAuto.pkg over top of Safari 18.2 (no other changes), I was able to revert from Safari 18.2 -> 18.1.1 which then allowed me to apply OCLP 2.2.0 post-install patches.

Happy to hear that this fixed things for you. Nice to have the compliment, but nothing clever, it was pure dumb luck that the Auto.pkg was the solution to downgrade. Was quite expecting to have to just leave Safari in its unusable state, since I think I've used Safari a total of 2 times since installing Ventura OCLP. My go to browsers are Firefox and Brave, if when Firefox craps out.

Next up, run the 13.7.2 on the Mini, but this time leave out the Safari update. 😀 Also good to know that copying over the Safari folder from the backup wasn't needed.
