#19908: dry-run option (-y) not honored everywhere ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: blb@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- At least uninstall appears to not honor the dry-run option (-y): {{{ $ port -dy uninstall gimp2 ---> Deactivating gimp2 @2.6.6_1+darwin_9+x11 DEBUG: deactivating link: /mp/share/man/man5/gimprc.5.gz DEBUG: error deleting "/mp/share/man/man5/gimprc.5.gz": permission denied while executing "_deactivate_contents $name $imagefiles" (procedure "portimage::deactivate" line 52) invoked from within "portimage::deactivate $portname ${version}_${revision}${variants} $optionslist" (procedure "portuninstall::uninstall" line 88) invoked from within "portuninstall::uninstall $portname [composite_version $portversion [array get variations]] [array get options]" Error: port uninstall failed: error deleting "/mp/share/man/man5/gimprc.5.gz": permission denied }}} (It failed since I didn't use sudo, as I didn't want it actually uninstalling). Initially ran into this trying it with --follow-dependents to see if that would show a recursive dependent list. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19908> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
