It seems that the file "._printfw.h" (and others) was added to the archive, but at extract time, it couldn't be found. Files whose names begin with "._" are created by OS X when a file with extended attributes is created on a filesystem that does not support extended attributes. Is the filesystem MacPorts is installed on formatted as HFS+ (Journaled), or as something else? Are there other volumes involved (for example, have you symlinked the build or software directories or other parts of the MacPorts prefix onto other volumes), and if so, how are those volumes formatted? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49370#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

But there's a huge number of ports starting with "`._`" in this case, so I doubt that the reporter opened all of them. In any case this is a weird error. I'm almost sure we will fix it as `invalid`, but it would be great to figure out the reason for the failure. My suggestion would be to possibly make a backup of `/opt/local/var/macports/software/wxPython-3.0/`, then uninstall `wxPython-3.0` and try to install it again from a clean build. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49370#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
