I'm a Unix user who is new to Mac and MacPorts. I've just started installing things using `port' today, i.e. after the release of MacPorts 1.5.1, which I understand does these `mtree' checks.
I'm not able to install much without getting the "mtree violation" error. It fails to install `Xemacs' with:
Error: violation by /opt/local/man Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: mtree violation!
and `gnome-doc-utils' with the same error on the way to installing other things.
What should I do?
Downgrade to MacPorts-1.5.0, upgrade to SVN trunk, or wait until next release...

Are maintainers supposed to be fixing these errors somehow? I maintain a port that has this error and I don't know if I'm supposed to add destroot.violate_mtree yes or let it go until the next release. Sean
