#20887: could not set attributes of share/man/man1/foo.1.gz : permission denied (--with-no-root-privileges) ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: jonthn+macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.1 Component: base | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * milestone: => MacPorts 1.8.1 Comment: Through [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- users/2009-September/016543.html mailing list discussion] and more testing it seems this issue is unique to Snow Leopard. It does not occur in my testing on Tiger or Leopard, though a different issue does: #20896. Regarding the patch Jonathan submitted above, I would very much like to first know what revision caused the problem, since this all used to work in MacPorts 1.7.1. Then, once we see what change caused the issue, we can think about how best to solve it. The script I attached to [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- users/2009-September/016471.html this message] could help test for the issue. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20887#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
