Well I tried the following workaround for ticket 10881, but
macports started trying to include the wrong dependencies. For
example, it tried to include dependencies based on X11 when I
specified gnucash +no_x11 (see gnome-desktop at the end as an
example).
In addition, it seems that some dependencies are required to be
built into their own destroots in advance (see the error message
for aqbanking below).
So I'm not sure how I should try again to make it work.
Disable autoclean in macports.conf, uninstall and clean everything,
and start over ?
The "force destroot" workaround requires that you do it for every
single port,
including all dependencies and making sure all needed variants are
included...
"Given that this has been around for 2 years, is this considered a
bug or a feature?"
I think it is a requirement and should be documented as such.
It seems pretty straight forward if you want to use mdmg or pkg on
needs to build with autoclean disabled in macports.conf
The next question is what else does it effect. Without doing any
research these are my guesses.
dmg, dpkg, mpkg, ...
Still Digging,
Ben
