#26899: PostGresql90-server won't install because of privilege de-escalation? --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: vince@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: Postgresql90-server --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Hi there, I am unable to install Postgresql90-server. For some unknown reason, with or without sudo, it seems the install procedure tries to alter the property of a file after privilege de-escalation, resulting in a "chown: not owner" error: {{{ :msg:destroot ---> Installing postgresql90-server @9.0.1_0 :debug:install install phase started at Tue Oct 19 22:09:42 CEST 2010 :debug:install Executing org.macports.install (postgresql90-server) :debug:install installing link: /usr/pkg/var/macports/software/postgresql90-server/9.0.1_0/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql90-server.plist :debug:install installing file: /usr/pkg/var/macports/software/postgresql90-server/9.0.1_0/usr/pkg/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql90-server/org.macports.postgresql90-server.plist :error:install Target org.macports.install returned: could not set owner for file "/usr/pkg/var/macports/software/postgresql90-server/9.0.1_0/usr/pkg/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql90-server/org.macports.postgresql90-server.plist": not owner :debug:install Backtrace: could not set owner for file "/usr/pkg/var/macports/software/postgresql90-server/9.0.1_0/usr/pkg/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql90-server/org.macports.postgresql90-server.plist": not owner while executing "file attributes $dst_element -owner [file attributes $src_element -owner] -group [file attributes $src_element -group] -permissions [file attributes $..."
