#36649: Error: Unable to upgrade port: symlink -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: l.hoffman@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: symlink -------------------------+-------------------------------- I have upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and need to upgrade MacPorts to run Gwyddion. Installing Xcode and the latest version of MacPorts went fine. Updating the ports went fine. When I tried to get the ports 'updraded' I received the following error: Error: Unable to upgrade port: symlink: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/databases/db46/work -> /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_databases_db46/db46/work: permission denied I have admin privileges on this machine. Any suggestions as to what might be the issue? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36649> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
