Further to my previous email (11/8/07 21:22 - Problems with Gnucash & Gramps). I have noticed that the Gramps portfile has been updated to Gramps 2.2.8, just after my previous message. I tried selfupgrading MacPorts, cleaning gramps and gnome-doc-utils and then reattempted 'sudo port install gramps' to see if the new portfile would work. Unfortunately, it failed in exactly the same way as before: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ---> Fetching gnome-doc-utils ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gnome-doc-utils ---> Extracting gnome-doc-utils ---> Configuring gnome-doc-utils ---> Building gnome-doc-utils with target all ---> Staging gnome-doc-utils into destroot Error: violation by /opt/local/man Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: mtree violation!

However, this seems to be exactly the same problem that has arisen with a number of other ports as a result of the upgrade to port 1.5.10, e.g. 'more mtree violations (Spoke too soon)' from jeff@cjstubbs.org at 11/8/07 20:33 and the cure seems to involve adding "destroot.violate_mtree yes" at a strategic place in the portfile. Can I place a polite request for this to be done. Regards David Rowe
