#49169: port selfupdate breaks when going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: FoolishEwe@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------+-------------------------------- I am getting an error when running port selfupdate and this machine's self update was reliable from this network in the past. This ticket should be used instead of the poorly formatted earlier attempt, Ticket #49168. Please note that my rsync appeared to work, hence it is likely different than Ticket #49140, which has a similar complaint but probably a different cause. Here I try it twice (note the user name is sanitized), the second time with the -v flag. Interestingly I the error appears to complain about the C compiler unable to create executables, but port installed shows "gcc49 @4.9.3_0 (active)", I've appended the full list to the end of this description. The file /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base/config.log is attached. {{{ My-MacBook-Pro-2:~ FoolishEwe$ ls Applications Documents Library Music Public backup Desktop Downloads Movies Pictures VirtualBox VMs oozie-wman My-MacBook-Pro-2:~ FoolishEwe$ cd /tmp My-MacBook-Pro-2:tmp FoolishEwe$ sudo port selfupdate ---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync MacPorts base version 2.3.3 installed, MacPorts base version 2.3.4 downloaded. ---> Updating the ports tree ---> MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.3.4 Installing new MacPorts release in /opt/local as root:admin; permissions 0755 Error: Error installing new MacPorts base: command execution failed Please run `port -v selfupdate' for details.
