Glad you could solve the issue. I'm not sure that's something we should
build into MacPorts to detect, as it's probably '''very''' uncommon. Hmm, I have exactly the same problem, so I found this post. Tried following the instructions, but now: Darwin 13.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.2.0: Thu Apr 17 23:03:13 PDT 2014; root:xnu-2422.100.13~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 i386 Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0 Thread model: posix Similar output from sqlite3: version|1.200 created|1311408569 portfiles_update_needed|1 and tried to reinstall from: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base (had to make clean, configure, and make install). Install fails with: Processing 1 of 1382: Xaw3d-1.5E_4.darwin_13.i386.tbz2 Command failed: /usr/bin/tar -cjf /opt/local/var/macports/software/Xaw3d/Xaw3d-1.5E_4.darwin_13.i386.tbz2 -T /opt/local/var/macports/software/Xaw3d/tarlist > /opt/local/var/macports/software/Xaw3d/error.log 2>&1 Log contains: tar: Removing leading '/' from member names tar: /opt/local/include/X11/Xaw3d/Template.c: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /opt/local/include/X11/Xaw3d/Template.h: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /opt/local/include/X11/Xaw3d/TemplateP.h: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /opt/local/lib/libXaw3d.8.0.dylib: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. ... and I can't continue (can't reinstall macports, can't finish upgrading). So, doesn't seem to be uncommon. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43859#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
