I tried to mount an Apple .dmg file like so:

mount -t hfs -o loop ximg.dmg /mnt/dmg
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg

Well, the blogs say this should work.
I even tried -t hfsplus with the same result.

Am I missing a relevant package?

I have hfsplus-tools-332.14-11.fc13.i686
installed, and F14 has no higher rev update for it,
at least according to yum.
Apple .dmg files are compressed High Performance File System files
(hpfs), not hfs. I don't know if Fedora can or even should mount them

What do you mean "should" ???
There is nothing fedora "should not" do!
If it serves our needs, then it should indeed be done.
