This is a message from the couchdb list also involving MacPorts. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ivan Avery Frey <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 7:05 PM Subject: MacPorts Bug? To: [email protected]
I just got couchdb working again on my PowerBook G4 with Tiger (10.4.11). What happened was after I installed couchdb I did a "sudo port -d upgrade couchdb". The icu port got upgraded to 4.0. Now when I went to run couchdb it went looking for 3.8 versions of the ICU libraries which no longer existed. A uninstall install of couchdb fixed the problem. Have I reported this bug in the right place? --- snip --- Do we have any slick response for this, or does 'port upgrade' just keep the dependants binaries with dangling links to nothing. I would have thought that the nice answer would be that the dependant should actuallt point to the depot location of the library, which should be in the same location after the upgrde as before. Only I'm not sure that e.g. a autotool package as couchdb looks into depot, and not just in /opt/local/lib. Does a simple 'port upgrade' can leave broken packages behind? Is there maybe an open ticket for this?
