#50838: Problem installing VLC - clean macports --------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: onaforeignshore@… | Owner: rjvbertin@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: VLC gtk2 py-pygtk | --------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by rjvbertin@…): {{{ Error: org.macports.destroot for port gtk2 returned: DEBUG: Error code: NONE DEBUG: Backtrace: while executing "system -nice 0 $fullcmdstring" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval system $notty $nice \$fullcmdstring" invoked from within "command_exec destroot" (procedure "portdestroot::destroot_main" line 2) invoked from within "portdestroot::destroot_main org.macports.destroot" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval $procedure $targetname" Warning: targets not executed for gtk2: org.macports.activate org.macports.destroot org.macports.install Error: Failed to install gtk2 DEBUG: could not read "/opt/local/share/man/man3p/warnings::register.3pm": no such file or directory while executing "::file type $file" Please see the log file for port gtk2 for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_gtk2/gtk2/main.log }}} That looks like an error in port:gtk2, possibly because the +quartz variant doesn't install certain files which are expected to be present in the destroot but more probably because a post-destroot block omits a `${destroot}` variable somewhere. Another thing: I should have asked you to post the output of {{{ sudo port -vy install VLC }}} first. Not that it shows variant propagation reliably, but it would have given a more succinct overview of the order in which dependencies get pulled in. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50838#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
