#31480: py25-htmldocs fails to install -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: lminder@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: py25-htmldocs | Port: py25-htmldocs -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- I cannot install py25-html due to too long argument list to chmod when staging. Example: # port install py25-htmldocs ---> Computing dependencies for py25-htmldocs ---> Staging py25-htmldocs into destroot Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command failed (see log for details) Log for py25-htmldocs is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_ports_lang_py-htmldocs/py25-htmldocs/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> The relevant extract from the log is: :info:destroot sh: /bin/chmod: Argument list too long :info:destroot shell command "chmod a+r `find /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_ports_lang_py- htmldocs/py25-htmldocs/work/destroot/opt/local/share/doc/python25-doc -type f`" returned error 126 :error:destroot Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command failed (see log for details) It seems it would be possible to fix this by using a for loop, something like "for i in `find blah` ;do chmod a+r "$i" ; done. I haven't tried, because I don't know how to correctly quote the $ in tcl. I'm not sure why I'm seeing this error while apparently most other people aren't. The version of py25-htmldocs is 2.5.4_1. Curiously, 2.5.4_0 seemed to install fine, although I can't retry now. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31480> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
