#14321: Moving from Darwin Ports to MacPorts: Registry corruption -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: jlnicolson@gmail.com | Owner: jmpp@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by wheinbockel@gmail.com): Since this issue does not appear to have been fixed and there has been no activity for ~6 months, here was at least a related issue that I had: {{{ $ ls -l / ... dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1 Aug 14 17:15 net lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 11 Aug 15 20:48 opt -> /private/opt drwxr-xr-x@ 7 root wheel 238 Aug 15 20:47 private drwxr-xr-x@ 66 root wheel 2244 May 28 17:49 sbin lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root admin 11 Apr 25 14:45 tmp -> private/tmp drwxr-xr-x@ 13 root wheel 442 Aug 14 22:40 usr lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root admin 11 Apr 25 14:45 var -> private/var $ ls -l /private drwxr-xr-x 86 root wheel 2924 Aug 15 20:23 etc drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 68 Sep 24 2007 tftpboot drwxr-xr-x 25 root wheel 850 Apr 25 14:45 var }}} Since /opt is present, but the link target /private/opt does not exist, the mkdir /opt/* in the preflight script fails. A simple {{{sudo mkdir /private/opt}}} will fix the issue. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/14321#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
