#52211: bzip2 refuses to work, attempts to create /opt/local/bin/bzip2.bz2 file ---------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: uri@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: bzip2 | ---------------------+-------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (removed) * owner: macports-tickets@… => ryandesign@… Comment: I've never seen anything like that before. It works fine for me: {{{ $ echo hello > Astro.txt $ ls -l Astro.txt* -rw-r--r-- 1 rschmidt wheel 6 Sep 11 16:48 Astro.txt $ bzip2 Astro.txt $ ls -l Astro.txt* -rw-r--r-- 1 rschmidt wheel 42 Sep 11 16:48 Astro.txt.bz2 $ bunzip2 Astro.txt.bz2 $ ls -l Astro.txt* -rw-r--r-- 1 rschmidt wheel 6 Sep 11 16:48 Astro.txt $ }}} Sounds like a misconfiguration of some sort on your system. Maybe an alias or function overriding MacPorts bzip2. What do you get when you run: {{{ type bzip2 type bunzip2 bzip2 --version bunzip2 --version }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52211#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
