#36612: path:-style dep allows non-macports file inside macports prefix --------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: snc@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.1.99 Keywords: | Port: --------------------+-------------------------------- When MacPorts encounters a path:-style dependency, it will allow a non- MacPorts file that is within the MacPorts prefix to satisfy the installation. This doesn't make sense, since MacPorts should be master of its own directories. Logs are attached showing that a package is not installed, yet its files are found and used inside the MacPorts prefix. This most prevalent cause of this problem is someone installing a dmg/pkg from MacPorts, which will install files right into the MacPorts prefix by default. MacPorts might also consider cowardly failing if there's an attempt to generate a dmg/pkg using the default prefix. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36612> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
