#28350: py-pip, py25-pip: won't install due to "file already exists" error ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: brejoc@… | Owner: arthurk@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: py-pip, py25-pip ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment(by trinosauro@…): Replying to [ticket:28350 brejoc@…]: I'm having exactly the same problem with MacPorts 1.9.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.6. I only get this error for py25-pip, the Python 2.5 version of pip. I tried to port install py26-pip and py27-pip and it worked fine for both packages.
When I try to install py25-pip macports tells me it can't rename '/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py25-pip/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/pip' to '/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py25-pip/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/pip-2.5' because the file would already exist.
This is true, but pip-2.5 is created during the installation process.
