#19234: dbus upgrade fails on macOS (during port upgrade gnucash) ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: kadorken@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: dbus machine-id | Port: gnucash ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- after doing 'sudo port selfupdate' to 1.7.1, I proceeded to try 'sudo port upgrade gnucash' to 2.2.9. I previously had gnucash 2.2.8 installed (quartz version) on MACOS 10.5.6 When the installation got to dbus, the activation of dbus failed, possibly due to an earlier installation ? See the log excerpt that follows: {{{ ---> Building gtk2 ---> Staging gtk2 into destroot ---> Deactivating gtk2 @2.14.7_1+no_x11+quartz ---> Installing gtk2 @2.14.7_2+no_x11+quartz ---> Activating gtk2 @2.14.7_2+no_x11+quartz ---> Cleaning gtk2 ---> Fetching dbus ---> Verifying checksum(s) for dbus ---> Extracting dbus ---> Applying patches to dbus ---> Configuring dbus ---> Building dbus ---> Staging dbus into destroot ---> Deactivating dbus @1.2.12_4 ---> Installing dbus @1.2.12_5 ---> Activating dbus @1.2.12_5 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/var/lib/dbus/machine-id already exists and does not belong to a registered port.
