#43406: gawk @4.1.1: destroot fails on upgrade --------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: gawk --------------------------+-------------------------- On Leopard, when upgrading to gawk @4.1.1 from a previous version, this error occurs during destroot: {{{ /usr/bin/make install-data-hook make[4]: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_lang_gawk/gawk/work/gawk-4.1.1/extension' for i in filefuncs.la fnmatch.la fork.la inplace.la ordchr.la readdir.la readfile.la revoutput.la revtwoway.la rwarray.la testext.la time.la ; do \ rm -f /opt/local/lib/gawk/$i ; \ done rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/filefuncs.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/fnmatch.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/fork.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/inplace.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/ordchr.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/readdir.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/readfile.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/revoutput.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/revtwoway.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/rwarray.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/testext.la: Permission denied rm: /opt/local/lib/gawk/time.la: Permission denied make[4]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1 }}} The Makefile erroneously assumes it has permission to alter files in the prefix, but MacPorts prohibits that; it may only alter files in the workpath. This problem probably affects all users with default settings on Mountain Lion and earlier. I didn't see this problem on my Mavericks system when updating the port, because the Makefile only tries to remove .la files, and MacPorts base by default automatically removes all .la files after destroot on Mavericks and later, so there was nothing for the Makefile to remove. The buildbots didn't see the problem because they never do upgrades; they always do fresh installs with no existing ports installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43406> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
