Hi everybody,
Yesterday I tried to migrate my Sonoma MacPorts installation to the newly
installed Sequoia on a 2019 M1 MacBook Pro 13”. I used the new procedure, i.e.,
sudo port migrate
The procedure produced the following errors:
Migration finished with errors.
The following ports could not be restored:
- aspell
Skipped because its dependency db48 failed
- emacs
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
- emacs-app
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
- gnuplot
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
- httrack
Skipped because its dependency lzip failed
- julia
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
- py311-matplotlib
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
- py311-scipy
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
- py312-matplotlib
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
- py312-scipy
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
- rsync
Skipped because its dependency lz4 failed
The following ports could not be fully restored:
- py311-jupyter
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
state changed from 'installed' to 'inactive'
- py312-jupyter
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
state changed from 'installed' to 'inactive'
- py312-jupyterlab
Skipped because its dependency cmake-bootstrap failed
state changed from 'installed' to ‘inactive'
It seems that there is currently a problem with cmake-bootstrap, which affects
many ports, and to a lesser extent with db48, lzip and lz4. Does anybody know
when these ports are expected to be fixed? Would there be a way of restoring a
port (for example, emacs.app, which I use a lot), to its former version before
the migration (which worked1)? The migration documentation also mentions to try
sudo port restore —last
to try to reinstall the ports that failed once they are fixed. Is there any
downside to this if I try and some of the problematic ports have not been fixed?
Thanks a lot for all the work on MacPorts, which to me is a true gem.
