#12596: malformed variants can break registry ------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: david.reitter@… | Owner: mww@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.5.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: | ------------------------------+---------------------------- Description changed by ryandesign@…: Old description:

Beginning with a failed install of gcc43 on my (Intel) Macbook Pro (osx 10.4, current macports), I've been getting this error message when doing various things:

$ sudo port installed Error: port installed failed: list must have an even number of elements No ports are installed.

I have done "sudo port sync", to no avail. "outdated" brings up the same message.

I have also tried to reinstall Macports from the release DMG (I still get the above message), only to discover that this has broken more things (i'll file a bug should i conclude it is one.)
