#17293: ncursesw-5.7.0 Activation defect ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: spam@neumax.org | Owner: imajes@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ncurses, ncursesw, activate Port: ncursesw | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Changes (by blb@macports.org): * cc: imajes@macports.org (removed) * owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org => imajes@macports.org Old description:
root@blabli ~ $ port upgrade ncursesw ---> Activating ncursesw 5.7_0 Error: Activating ncursesw 5.7_0 failed: Image error: /opt/local/share/terminfo/a/aa4080 already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port ncursesw.
When upgrading all outdated packages, an error occurs with ncursesw activation. ncurses is not compiling through afterwards because of the depencency on ncursesw... and any other package that dependes on ncurses i guess!
Deleting the aa4080 file (or any other file that is shown in the error description) does not help.

To fix this just force the ncursesw activation with {{{sudo port -f activate ncursesw @5.7_0}}}. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17293#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
