#14533: disk full causes "Error: Target org.macports.install returned: unmatched open brace in list" ? --------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: Russell.Stringer.Bell.RIP@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: unmatched brace --------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by afb@macports.org): Replying to [ticket:14533]:
I used '-p' when invoking 'port'; so it continued despite all these errors. I assume this has left my Macports in an inconsistent state; some of my port install's/upgrade's seem to be failing with the same error. I know absolutely nothing about Macports design/impl., so I do not know where to begin debugging this error, and I suspect debugging this will involve fixing more than one Macports file/portfile.
Yes, your MacPorts "registry" became corrupted/inconsistent. The files it is using live in /opt/local/var/macports/receipts, but there is unfortunately no simple way of repairing it... The "easy" (not "quick") way of repairing is saving the files you care about (like your configuration and distfiles) and start over from a clean installation (move /opt/local aside) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14533#comment:1> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
