Hi, I attempted to run "sudo port upgrade outdated" today, and got a
whole bunch of errors similar to this:
---> Verifying checksum(s) for libpng
Error: No checksum set for libpng-1.2.33.tar.bz2
but also for different ports, e.g.:
Error: No checksum set for pango-1.22.2.tar.bz2
Error: No checksum set for libxml2-2.7.2.tar.gz
Error: No checksum set for autoconf-2.63.tar.bz2
Error: No checksum set for libgsf-1.14.10.tar.bz2
Error: No checksum set for numpy-1.2.1.tar.gz
Error: No checksum set for pycairo-1.6.4.tar.gz
Error: No checksum set for coreutils-6.12.tar.gz
Error: No checksum set for gnome-themes-2.24.1.tar.bz2
I googled, and found something about using "sudo port clean --all
sqlite3", and then running the upgrades again. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16486
This worked partially; I still had many errors, but sometimes a port
might upgrade. On closer examination of the terminal messages, I found
recursive directories mentioned, similar to the ticket mentioned.
---> Verifying checksum(s) for pango
Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Could not open file: /
opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/pango/pango/pango-1.22.2.tar.bz2
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
There was a related local file at /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/
pango/pango/pango/pango/pango/pango/pango/pango-1.22.2.tar.bz2 (N.B.
different amount of nested folders)
It seems that macports was putting the downloaded file in a subfolder
of the /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/port_name/ folder? Even for
the ports that worked eventually, they were nested in a subfolder. I
tried running the upgrade command a few more times. Most of the ports
upgraded, but not two (coreutils and nautilus). I actually just moved
these files from their sub-directories into the proper directory, and
the update for these worked fine now.
So, I have three questions:
1) Is there a way to upgrade these final two ports?
2) Is there a problem with this strange recursive directory structure?
Is there a way to fix it, or is the manual way I did it fine?
3) Is there a way to prevent this in the future?
4) I also tried to run "sudo port clean --all" but got an error:
Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not
find Portfile in /Users/foo_bar").
Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.
(you might also see this message if a pseudo-port such as
outdated or installed expands to no ports).
Error: Unable to open port: Could not find Portfile in /Users/foo_bar
Has this command changed?
Cheers,
Pete.
