I thinks there's a bug in the way port names are handled.

I'm trying to compile a cvs snapshot of slrn, the same present in debian

experimental. The debian maintainer assigned 0.9.8.1pl2~cvs20061116 as

version number, and I wish to keep this convention.

If I manually change some links before the ./configure phase (refer to

my previous email) I can build and install my port using macports, but

it blocks here:

$ sudo port -vc install slrn-dev +ssl +pull

[...]

./opt/local/share/slrn/macros/xcomment.sl

--->  Archive slrn-dev-0.9.8.1pl2~cvs20061116_0+pull+ssl.powerpc.tgz

packaged

--->  Archive for slrn-dev 0.9.8.1pl2~cvs20061116_0+pull+ssl packaged

--->  Installing slrn-dev 0.9.8.1pl2~cvs20061116_0+pull+ssl

--->  Activating slrn-dev 0.9.8.1pl2~cvs20061116_0+pull+ssl

Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Registry error: slrn-dev

cvs20061116_0+pull+ssl not registered as installed.

Warning: the following items did not execute (for slrn-dev):

com.apple.activate

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

If you notice the version should be 0.9.8.1pl2~cvs20061116_0+pull+ssl

but com.apple.activate sees only cvs20061116_0+pull+ssl.

Now I officially have a screwed installations of macports :-D

$ port installed

Error: port installed failed: Registry error: slrn-dev

cvs20061116_0+pull+ssl not registered as installed.

No ports are installed.

How can I repair it?
