multiple versions of a package?
by Gábor Farkas 08 May '07

08 May '07

hi, while using macports, i found this problem that i'm not able to solve: =============================================== omoikane:~ gabor$ port installed subversion The following ports are currently installed: subversion @1.4.2_0 subversion @1.4.3_0 subversion @1.4.3_1 (active) omoikane:~ gabor$ sudo port uninstall subversion @1.4.2_0 ---> Unable to uninstall subversion 1.4.2_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> subversion-perlbindings Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on subversion first. omoikane:~ gabor$ sudo port uninstall subversion @1.4.3_0 ---> Unable to uninstall subversion 1.4.3_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> subversion-perlbindings Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on subversion first. omoikane:~ gabor$ sudo port uninstall subversion @1.4.3_1 ---> Unable to uninstall subversion 1.4.3_1, the following ports depend on it: ---> subversion-perlbindings Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on subversion first. ================================================= so, my questions are: 1. why do i have multiple versions of 'subversion' installed? when i do 'port upgrade subversion', i assumed it installs the new version and removes the old one... is that so? 2. from the messages above, on what does 'subversion-perlbindings' depend exactly? on a specific version of 'subversion'? or simply on 'subversion' as a package? i have used several package managers in the past (rpm, debian, gentoo..), but macports's behavior seems to be quite different. i'd like to understand it, so could you please explain to me what's happening there? thanks, gabor

I'm relatively new to Macs, so please forgive me if I'm doing something stupid. I'm having problems installing ncurses with MacPorts. I get the following: > paul-butchers-computer:~ paul$ sudo port install ncurses > ---> Staging ncurses into destroot > Error: Target com.apple.destroot returned: no such file or directory > Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. port -dv gives me *lots* of output, but the last bit reads: > DEBUG: Executing proc-post-com.apple.destroot-destroot-0 > DEBUG: delete: /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ > _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_ > dports_devel_ncurses/work/destroot/opt/local/share /opt/local/var/ > db/dports/build/ > _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_ > dports_devel_ncurses/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/terminfo > Error: Target com.apple.destroot returned: no such file or directory > Warning: the following items did not execute (for ncurses): > com.apple.activate com.apple.destroot com.apple.install > Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. I've tried doing a "port clean --all ncurses", but I get exactly the same thing afterwards. I'd be very grateful for any pointers to what I'm doing wrong, or how to debug further.

Creating symlinks to files that don't exist

With the changeset 24435 (http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ macports/changeset/24435) the "delete" command is being implemented differently and now it tries to traverse automatically the symbolic links. You can correct the ncurses Portfile by executing "sudo port edit ncurses" and changing the line "delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/terminfo" into: "delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/terminfo ${destroot}${prefix}/share" By reversing the order of the arguments, the symbolic link "lib/ terminfo" is deleted at first, then its target "../share/terminfo" is removed correctly.

sshfs
by Jochen Küpper 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hi Everyone, I am using MacPorts' fuse + sshfs to mount several remote directories from various Linux servers. most running OpenSSH 3.8. When I edit textfiles (typically C++ or python source code) and delete some bytes in the file, the file on the server sometimes has spurious characters at the end of the file, often a colon (":"), for example. Is this a know issue? Is this an issue of MacPorts, FUSE (MacFUSE ?), sshfs? Where else should I ask if this is not the appropriate mailing list?

Did location of mysql.sock change in mysql5.0.37?
by Bakki Kudva 07 May '07

07 May '07

My rails app is complaining that it can't find mysql.sock in /tmp after upgrading. Before the defaults just worked. Now it appears that it is in /opt/local/var/run/mysql5 - so I either have to set it in my.cnf or change my rails configuration. -bakki

Bacula has no maintainer?
by Tabitha McNerney 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hello all - I noticed something kind of odd today. The Bacula port has no maintainer: $ port info bacula > bacula 1.38.11, Revision 1, sysutils/bacula (Variants: darwin_8) > http://www.bacula.org/ > > Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you to manage backup, > recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of > different kinds. > > Library Dependencies: zlib, sqlite3, openssl, libiconv, gettext > Platforms: darwin > Maintainers: nomaintainer(a)macports.org > This is kind of a bummer because it looks like Bacula got a major version upgrade in March to 2.0.3 I wonder who started the Bacula Mac (darwin?) Port? Best regards, T.M.
