#43210: Missing error messages --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.99 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------+-------------------------------- I know there was some cleanup of error messages in MacPorts base recently, removing messages that were not thought to be useful, however I am now experiencing error conditions with no error messages at all: {{{ $ sudo port -u upgrade php55-odbc ---> Computing dependencies for php55-odbc Error: Follow http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug. }}} No indication of what the problem is. The problem is its dependency was not active: {{{ $ port deps php55-odbc Full Name: php55-odbc @5.5.11_0+universal+unixodbc Build Dependencies: autoconf Library Dependencies: php55, unixODBC $ port installed unixodbc The following ports are currently installed: unixODBC @2.3.1_0+universal }}} And can't be activated: {{{ $ sudo port activate unixodbc ---> Computing dependencies for unixODBC Warning: Failed to execute portfile from registry for unixODBC @2.3.1_0+universal ---> Activating unixODBC @2.3.1_0+universal Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/isql is being used by the active virtuoso-7 port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate unixODBC' to force the activation. }}} After deactivating virtuoso-7 and activating unixODBC, php55-odbc can upgrade. Note: I also do not understand why it "Failed to execute portfile from registry". -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43210> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
