MacPorts 1.4.40 was released, so I hope the fix made it into that... On May 8, 2007, at 02:46, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote:
Why can't we get the work-around committed for now? A lot of things depend on ncurses, and it's a fallacy to assume that a lot of people don't track trunk and it can be safely broken for periods of time. :-(

Oh hrm, it didn't occur to me that this would happen, but I know exactly why.
However, I'm on vacation. Can this wait a week? It's a problem that only affects trunk.

After the changes to the "file delete" implementation, the installation of ncurses fails because it tries to follow the target of a symbolic link.
By reversing the order of the arguments from
delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/terminfo
into
delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/terminfo ${destroot}${prefix}/share
ncurses installs correctly (lib/terminfo is a symbolic link to ../ share/terminfo).
