#10768: BUG: port - dependency passes by inexisting ports --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: yves@macports.org | Owner: eridius@macports.org Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: High | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: dependency --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by ricci@macports.org): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: worksforme => Comment: Well well, I just found that this is very reproducible. The current 'perl/p5-mac-apps-launch' port demonstrates this nicely, it contains: depends_lib-append port:p5-mac-appleevents \ and there is no port named 'p5-mac-appleevents'. I then added to the depends_lib-append list the following line: port:p5-complete-nonsense-no-way-cant-be and the port still builds just fine. Neither of the non-existent ports are reported during 'port -v -d build', not even a "DEBUG: Searching for dependency:"... line for either of them. I tested the non "-append" version of depends_lib in a different port, added an utterly bogus port:BOGUS_NAME_HERE and again, no report of that port being searched for, etc. Thus I'm certain this bug is present in r33768 (svn up on 20080204), I have not yet tested HEAD (it won't build for me right now). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/10768#comment:11> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
