During the installation of OS X El Capitan on my Mac Book Pro, the install fails and I am left with 'OS X Could not be installed on your computer File System verify or repair failed. Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.' No matter how many restarts I do it does not install. Also repair does not work in disk utility. I'm running into this problem too. I have spent all morning trying to get a Catalina Mac Mini to run a VM of El Capitan so that I can still use some of my old 32bit software. I keep running into this: 'OS X could not be installed on your computer. No packages were eligible for install'.

I just downloaded LibreOffice 5 on my Mac running El Capitan (OS X 10.11).
When I try to open it, I get a message (see picture):
“LibreOffice” will damage your computer. You should move it to the Trash.
El Capitan Could Not Be Installed On Your Computer System
This is different than the message I’ve gotten in the past with some applications, under previous OS X version, that the application was downloaded from the Internet, where I was able to by pass the warning by right-click on the app and clicking Open. That results in the same message this time; there is no option to open it.
Could my download from LibreOffice.org have been infected? Has Apple just gotten more aggressive with its malware warnings?
Install Os X 10.11
How do I verify I have a non-infected copy and run it?
