#44091: In port interactive mode, pseudo-portnames corrupted after selfupdate ------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: pjkim00@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.0 Resolution: | Keywords: corrupt pseudo-portname selfupdate Port: | ------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment (by pjkim00@…): I usually run individual port commands from the bash shell but sometimes my sudo times out so I wondered whether starting 'sudo port' once followed by calling everything else in interactive mode would save having to type my password. I just tried again and noted one thing. If selfupdate actually finds an outdated port, 'outdated' correctly contains the outdated ports. If however I upgrade those ports and selfupdate again, then 'outdated' now contains the entire port list of 19K items. I just found another method way to reproduce the same issue. In interactive mode, 'list outdated' returns nothing. But after the command 'outdated', 'list outdated' now returns the full list. Here is what I mean: [~]$ port[[BR]] MacPorts 2.3.0[[BR]] Entering interactive mode... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit)[[BR]] [Users/pjkim] > list outdated[[BR]] [Users/pjkim] > outdated[[BR]] No installed ports are outdated.[[BR]] [Users/pjkim] > list outdated[[BR]] AppHack @1.1 aqua/AppHack[[BR]] AppKiDo @0.997 aqua/AppKiDo[[BR]] ..... lots more lines[[BR]] Not a big deal because I will just stop using interactive mode and the problem/bug is absent when called non-interactively. My only concern is that this was an unexpected behavior that was possibly a real problem. After reading the FAQ you linked, I see that this is somewhat expected behavior, although the example above still puzzles me as it appears inconsistent/erratic. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44091#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

* it is unusual to run `selfupdate` in interactive mode. Running selfupdate might update MacPorts. If so, MacPorts files may have been replaced/updated/removed, but you are still running the old version, which is not what you want; you want to be running the new version after selfupdating. This isn’t a problem, if base is actually updated then it exits immediately afterward.

I can repro this, but only with pseudo-portnames that evaluate to an empty list. Looks like ‘list $foo’ is becoming just ‘list’ when $foo is the empty string, and of course ‘port list’ is documented to list all the ports. But it works properly at first for some reason. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44091#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
