#36597: portpkg.tcl script fails with segfault ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: damo.clarky@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: pkg | Port: ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Like 189 of portpkg.tcl uses the findBinary procedure to locate the full path to the cpio binary and then uses that as the value to the -x parameter of the pax command. This causes pax to segmentation fault. The command that fails is: cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_mythtv-core.25/mythtv- core.25/work/destroot && /bin/pax -x /usr/bin/cpio -w -z . > /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_mythtv-core.25/mythtv-core.25/work /mythtv-core.25-0.25.2-Fixes-20120918.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz The attached patch file simply uses 'cpio' as the parameter to -x option of pax rather than the calculated full path (ie /usr/bin/pax). With just 'cpio' there is no segmentation fault. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36597> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
