Typing "sudo port upgrade outdated" gave me the error:

" ---> Installing python27 @2.7.3_0 Error: org.macports.install for port python27 returned: no destroot found at: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/destroot Please see the log file for port python27 for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/main.log "

I tried "sudo port clean python27", but got the same error. I went into the log file, as the error message suggested above & found these error lines:

" :error:install org.macports.install for port python27 returned: no destroot found at: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/destroot :debug:install Error code: NONE :debug:install Backtrace: no destroot found at: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/ "

I tried to uninstall python27, but there were dependent files &/or applications, whose purpose I don't know. I abandoned uninstalling python27.

I then tried "sudo port -n upgrade --force python27", but got the same error, but with many lines of text!

Also, "which python" give Apple's python, not MacPorts: /usr/bin/python

That log was not useful at all. clean python27 and attach the new main.log if it fails.

Sorry it was not useful. I cleaned python27 and again typed "sudo port upgrade outdated" and got the first error a few lines down: {{{ #!div style="font-size: 80%" {{{#!python ---> Installing python27 @2.7.3_0 Error: org.macports.install for port python27 returned: @name python27-2.7.3_0 @portname python27 }}} }}} There were hundreds of lines after these. I have attached the new main.log. Hopefully it is useful this time. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35850#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

That log is interesting. I don't know what's causing the problem though.

Is your tar command working correctly? What's the following command output:

{{{ /usr/bin/tar --version }}}

I've never had a problem compressing or uncompressing files, but I rarely, if ever, use the CLI to do so. {{{ /usr/bin/tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.26 }}} And "which tar" says that's the one I'd use. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35850#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Yeah, on Lion you should get: {{{ % /usr/bin/tar --version bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3 }}} We can't offer support if you have modified stuff in /usr/bin.

I understand. Thanks for finding the root cause of the problem. I changed my Symbolic Link of usr/bin/tar from MacPorts installed gnutar to usr/bin/bsdtar (version 2.8.3), and was able to update my MacPorts (no more Python27 problems). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35850#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
