#17361: wireshark-1.0.4 needs rebuild after upgrading libpcap ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: brad@… | Owner: ricci@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: wireshark | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by ricci@…): Replying to [comment:5 jmr@…]:
Wireshark was last updated 5 weeks ago, and libpcap was last updated one week ago. It's quite easy to imagine a user installing wireshark (and the old libpcap as a dep), and then running `port upgrade outdated` a while later, thus ending up with a new libpcap that the installed wireshark doesn't work with.
Bumping wireshark's revision should take care of this.
"port upgrade" should rebuild dependencies, and in the guide this appears to be the case (though it isn't entirely clear): "The upgrade option upgrades installed ports and their dependencies when a Portfile in the repository has been updated after a port was installed." If someone uses "port upgrade outdated" and the bumped libpcap doesn't result in dependencies (like wireshark) being rebuilt, I think that's a bug with "port upgrade" and should not be fixed by band-aiding ports every time their dependencies are changed. If the filer of the ticket could include the commands (and other details) that were used to get their install into this state, that would be helpful. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17361#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
