#19253: port clean aborts with error if port has been removed from collection but is installed -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: febeling@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: upgrade obsolete | Port: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by raimue@…): * cc: raimue@… (added) * keywords: => upgrade obsolete Comment: Removing ports on upgrade could be bad as we also allow installation of ports not in the PortIndex by using the `current` pseudo-port or `-D portdir`. Also, it is not clear to me how you got this error message. I can't think of a way how that could happen with the recommended `port upgrade outdated` as a removed port is never in the outdated set, so I assume you used `port upgrade installed` as gail is still in the installed set? `port upgrade gail` could maybe get a smarter error message. But in general it is the expected behavior. You asked to upgrade a port which cannot be found in the PortIndex, so there is no way to check the versions. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19253#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
