I believe that if you pass the -p flag to port, that this error (and

Hi James,
I just upgraded to your hot-off-the-stove 1.4.3 flawlessly, and
then tried
sudo port -f clean -p --all all
This command should have been:
sudo port -f -p clean --all all
which would have ignored the problem with gtk26 no longer being present.
It stumbled here:
Error: Unable to open port: couldn't change working directory to
"/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/
rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/x11/gtk26":
no such file or directory
The gtk26 maintainer just requested the package be removed, and Maun
Suang reported, "Done in r24129." I found
/opt/local/etc/ports/sources.conf, where it seems port is
downloading a
fresh list -- what's the design feature that throws up this
disagreement?
That's due, unfortunately, to the PortIndex being generated at a
lower frequency than the sync of the subversion tree to the rsync
repository.
So the PortIndex is slightly out of date with respect to the rest of
the rsync files.
This time I created a fake directory and portfile and got past that
point, only to stumble again on the same package as when I was not
using
the -p flag:
nhc98 is not supported on OS X i386 yet
I would much prefer you were correct that the -p flag would inspire
port
to take such troubles in its stride, but alas, it fell on its face
again.
Yeah, even -p (properly placed) won't get you past this one. The port
author was calling exit, on i386, whenever the Portfile was opened.
I've checked in a revision to that port (r24159) which defers the
error report until build time, and then does so in a somewhat nicer
fashion.
Thanks for the report.
James.
