Further to my previous email (11/8/07 21:22 - Problems with Gnucash & Gramps).

I have noticed that the Gramps portfile has been updated to Gramps 2.2.8, just after my previous message.

I tried selfupgrading MacPorts, cleaning gramps and gnome-doc-utils and then reattempted 'sudo port install gramps' to see if the new portfile would work.

Unfortunately, it failed in exactly the same way as before:

However, this seems to be exactly the same problem that has arisen with a number of other ports as a result of the upgrade to port 1.5.10, e.g. 'more mtree violations (Spoke too soon)' from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at 11/8/07 20:33 and the cure seems to involve adding "destroot.violate_mtree yes" at a strategic place in the portfile.
Can I place a polite request for this to be done.

No, that is not the solution. The error pointed out above is (as far as I know) exactly the kind of error which the mtree violation check was designed to point out. In this case, the problem needs to be fixed, not worked around by disabling the mtree check -- and indeed it was fixed in r27763. Please "sudo port sync" in a few minutes and try again.
