#16246: sudo port activate does not work ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: robert@hellometro.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: port activate activating ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment (by robert@hellometro.com): Work Around: cd /opt/local/var/macports/receipts[[BR]] sudo rm file_map.db.lock[[BR]] Suggested Fixes: Short Term: fix port so that -dv causes port -dv activate to output the fact that it is waiting for a lock Long Term: find out why the lock was there: I ran sudo port install kde, but then in stayed on the ---> Activating kdeaccessibility3 step for 24 hours before I killed it. I was only running one instance of port. So there is a bug somewhere, and a deficiency in the activate command (-dv does not provide any additional verbosity or debug info) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16246#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
