#35420: p5-crypt-passwdmd5: sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: ak@… | Owner: ooburai@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: mountainlion | Port: p5-crypt-passwdmd5 --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment(by nick@…): According to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes/pull/21 and linked pages, the problem is Mountain Lion specific and has to do with locale settings and improper handling of these in sed. You have to unset LANG and/or set LC_CTYPE=C and/or LC_ALL=C. {{{ sudo env ... port install ... }}} did not work for me. However, moving /usr/bin/sed to /usr/bin/sed2 and adding the following executable script /usr/bin/sed {{{ #!/bin/sh unset LANG LC_CTYPE=C LC_ALL=C export LC_CTYPE LC_ALL /usr/bin/sed2 "$@" }}} makes the port install. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35420#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
