I was having a similar problem with an mtree violation when building subversion 1.4.4 I upgraded to 1.520 this morning and it looks like they've temporarily changed mtree violations to warnings instead of fatal errors, so you would likely be able to build xpdf after doing another selfupdate. -Brian On 8/16/07, Samuel M.

When I try to install xpdf using macports 1.510 it fails (actually on the first dependency ghostscript)

.... ---> Staging ghostscript into destroot Error: violation by /opt/ local/man Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: mtree violation!

I noticed in the archive that this problem was reported before and a new version of macports is needed to fix it. When will the new version be posted as I am dead in the water until then.

I tried downgrading to macports 1.3.2 by deleting /opt and reinstalling but sudo port install xpdf chokes with

albook:samuel$ sudo port install xpdf Password: Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name "universal_variant"

Also tried macports 1.4 but it has the mtree violation. So basically can't do anything with macports until its fixed.
