unpleasant surprises: no ports are installed
Something has come undone in my efforts to get the MAMP stack re-installed. [/opt/local/var/macports/receipts]# port installed | more Error: port installed failed: Registry error: php5 @ 5.2.5_1+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5 not registered as installed. No ports are installed. This looks worse than it is. It looked like a couple of malformed receipts in php5 (5.2.5_1+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5, 5.2.5_1+apache2+macosx) had blocked things up. Once I removed them, the list of installed ports is available. Seems to me that either bad receipts (which I think is actually a case of a malformed installation/wrong variants) should not be written (the port request would exit before doing anything wrong) or the parsing process would ignore them rather than bombing out. The bits are all installed: it's now just a matter of getting them recognized by the infrastructure. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@gmail.com>

The FreeBSD ports tree has a tool to address such things-- pkgdb -F tends to sort 'em out quickly. Is there a MacPorts equivalent to this? -- Jay Chandler / KB1JWQ Living Legend / Systems Exorcist Today's Excuse: because of network lag due to too many people playing deathmatch

yes, i have used that many times. it might be a worthwhile RFE for the next release of MacPorts. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@gmail.com>
