While I am searching for the source of the problem to why my ports of a few packages were failing; librsvg, gnome-icon-theme, gnome-theme, gnome-speech, gtksourceview, and gnome-user-docs. Those packages seem to be clearly the cause of a path or improperly coded function involving the path because of what I have output when I run "sudo port -v update && sudo port -v upgrade installed: <snip> ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gnome-icon-theme ---> Checksumming gnome-icon-theme-2.16.1.tar.bz2 Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme-2.16.1.tar.bz2 Warning: the following items did not execute (for gnome-icon-theme): com.apple.destroot com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for librsvg ---> Checksumming librsvg-2.16.1.tar.bz2 Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/librsvg/librsvg/librsvg/librsvg/librsvg/librsvg/librsvg/librsvg-2.16.1.tar.bz2 Warning: the following items did not execute (for librsvg): com.apple.destroot com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gnome-themes ---> Checksumming gnome-themes-2.16.2.tar.bz2 Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/gnome-themes/gnome-themes/gnome-themes/gnome-themes/gnome-themes/gnome-themes/gnome-themes-2.16.2.tar.bz2 Warning: the following items did not execute (for gnome-themes): com.apple.destroot com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gnome-speech ---> Checksumming gnome-speech-0.4.8.tar.bz2 Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/gnome-speech/gnome-speech/gnome-speech/gnome-speech/gnome-speech/gnome-speech-0.4.8.tar.bz2 Warning: the following items did not execute (for gnome-speech): com.apple.destroot com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 </snip> These packages; mhash, ncurses, Finance-Quote, and p5-finance-quote seem to fail because of their checksum: <snip> ---> Verifying checksum(s) for p5-finance-quote ---> Checksumming Finance-Quote-1.13.tar.gz Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/perl5/perl5/Finance-Quote-1.13.tar.gz Warning: the following items did not execute (for p5-finance-quote): com.apple.destroot com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for ncurses ---> Checksumming ncurses-5.6.tar.gz Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/ncurses/ncurses-5.6.tar.gz Warning: the following items did not execute (for ncurses): com.apple.destroot com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for ncursesw ---> Checksumming ncurses-5.6.tar.gz Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/ncurses/ncurses-5.6.tar.gz Warning: the following items did not execute (for ncursesw): com.apple.destroot com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for mhash ---> Checksumming mhash-0.9.7.1.tar.bz2 Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/mhash/mhash-0.9.7.1.tar.bz2 Warning: the following items did not execute (for mhash): com.apple.destroot com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 </snip> I had already performed sudo port -v sync twice and still I receive these errors.
