The Problem is, that this line :
delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share/info/dir
is not in the portfile. there is a generall line inside, which goes over all /share/info/*.
I tried to delete this line, but the same problem as before.
Either you are looking at the wrong portfile, or your portfiles are months out of date. The relevant line has been that way since February 2007, as per this changeset:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/22017
This is the file we're talking about:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ devel/readline/Portfile?rev=26187
It is located at the path devel/readline/Portfile within your ports tree.
Line 41.
What is the first line of your readline portfile -- what is the output of this command?
port file readline | xargs head -n 1
On my system, it is as follows:
# $Id: Portfile 26187 2007-06-15 10:36:51Z ryandesign@macports.org $
And this is what you should see, too, if your ports tree is up to date.
ok, i fixed the problem:
i just created
/opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_d ev el _readline/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/dir
this directory was missing
It sounds like you worked around the problem, rather than fixing it. You may have succeeded in installing the port today, but if you ever need to reinstall it, I see no reason why the same problem would not occur again. It would be beneficial to discover why the problem occurred in the first place. Maybe a change needs to be made to the portfile. We won't know until someone who's experiencing the problem (you) tries out the changes suggested above to see if they help or not.
Another possibility would be to explicitly write the code so that the file is only deleted if it exists, similar to this:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/27782
I already tried this solution, but the line :
delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share/info/dir
is not in the portfile.
Then you are not looking at the same portfile I'm looking at, because that line is present in the readline portfile I have. I copied the line directly from there.
There is a loop, which deletes a bunch of files and directories. They seem to be created dynamically. So when i remove the line, nothing is deleted anymore. It seems that you have to insert a delete command, which ignores errors.
Perhaps you could attach the complete file you're looking at. Maybe that would help us converge on a solution.
I attached te file already in a mail before in this conversation. Here it is again :
PortSystem 1.0 name readline-5 set shortname readline version 5.0.005
[snip] No, that's the readline-5 port, not the readline port.
