#42837: Error Staging into Destroot for python26 and others. ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: design_by_xs@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: python26 ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Problem installing python 26 (and thus, jailkit) Before opening this ticket, I did the following: sudo port selfupdate sudo port -u upgrade outdated sudo port clean When I try to install jailkit, the instller comes to configuring python 26, and fails with this error: Error: org.macports.destroot for port python26 returned: command execution failed Please see the log file for port python26 for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python26/python26/main.log I then ran: sudo ports clean --all installed sudo port selfupdate sudo ports -u upgrade (Returned: Nothing to upgrade.) I ran sudo port install python26 (again). --- Log attached. --- I've encountered other similar problems, staging tools into destroot. System Info: XServe Xeon 2.8Ghz, running OSX 10.5.8. When I try to do: which install-info The returned info is: /usr/bin/install-info The problem that I primarily see is that python is returning an error of: :info:destroot: file is not of required architecture I next tried to do this: sudo port install python26 -arch x86_64 and sudo port install python26 -arch i386 I was hoping that using the arch switch might help. Note: I did not migrate from another system: The OS install was done on this machine. What can anyone tell me on how to fix this? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42837> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
