#43848: Update to Port 2.3.0 fails on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: Peter_Dyballa@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: lockhart@… (added) * port: base => Comment: See #43727. It was an error for the developers of SGMLSpm to have used the version number "1.03ii" because perl module version numbers are required to be floating point numbers. However, that was done 19 years ago. Perhaps that requirement was not in effect at the time, and in any case, the software appears to have been abandoned, or else they would have released a new version by now. Perhaps we should assign a different (floating point) version number to this port to avoid this problem. Still, it would be nice if MacPorts would not explode, even if a perl module uses an incorrect version number. Have you tried the obvious, that is to say: {{{ sudo port uninstall p5.12-sgmlspm '@1.3.{}_0' }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43848#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
