#17295: Upgrading ncurses hangs if ncursesw not upgraded before -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: Damien.Pollet@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: ncurses -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I don't know if this is normal, but a message before staging would be nice. It doesn't seem normal that a process would take 100% CPU for several hours without any feedback… with -v it hangs after this : ** Building terminfo database, please wait... Running tic to install /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_ncurses/work/destroot/opt/local/share/terminfo ... You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., AX. These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled using tic -x If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INSTALL document, and install the terminfo without the -x option. In the end I killed it, noticed that port hadn't upgraded its dependancy ncursesw first, upgraded that explicitely, retried, and it was done in minutes.
