BUG: pkg/mpkg/dmg/mdmg/rpm/dpkg commands skip destroot

[dcurtis@…]

Cannot build packages / meta-packages. For some reason it's thinking it should skip the destroot step and so there is nothing to archive for the pkg.

For any port; if you clean, destroot, pkg then you will not recieve this error. It's something about required steps (bascially "skipping destroot because port installed").

[jberry@…]

Please mark output as code so it's easier to read.

[dcurtis@…]

temporary fix:

when doing mpkg use the -k flag and it will leave the destroot contents.

[jmpp@…]

Fixing this so that a meta package builds through regular port(1) operation would require forcing some things internally, which I'm figuring is not going to be that easy since some guessing as to what to force would have to take place. Therefore setting to "Needs developer review" so that discussion on the issue can set it to a version'd milestone.

This bug also affects the rpm/dpkg targets (as they also need a destroot)

The workaround is to either use the force, or to uninstall everything...
(or disable the autoclean, as suggested above - same as the -k option)

[ryandesign@…]

Has duplicate #13669.

[ryandesign@…]

dmg and mdmg targets are also affected; see duplicates #14437 and #13669, respectively.

[rick.richardson@…]

There are two workarounds in the ticket above:

• port -f destroot ghostscript, to make the root "valid"

• disable autoclean for future installs to be packageable

e.g.

$ sudo port -f destroot ghostscript

$ sudo port dmg ghostscript

[dbruce@…]

I still can't make a dmg of my port (tuxmath) even with the above work-arounds. Is there currently a functioning way to do this?

Here's what I did:
sudo port mdmg tuxmath - ran into the problems above with the missing directories for tuxmath itself as well as for many of the dep libs. After creating all these dirs manually with mkdir, here's what I get:

janis-lehtinens-imac:~ dbruce$ sudo port clean tuxmath[[BR]]

Command output: ditto: /Volumes/tuxmath-1.6.1 3/tuxmath-1.6.1.mpkg/Contents/Packages/tuxmath-1.6.1.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz: No space left on device

(the disk is definitely not full)

So -

1. For the packages that fail to create the needed dir, what needs to be added to the Portfile?
   
2. Is there something beyond "sudo port -f destroot tuxmath; sudo port dmg tuxmath" I need to do?

That is a different issue (#13968), the size calculations for meta-packages/diskimages are off...

[ryandesign@…]

Has duplicate #15987.

[probono@…]

Given that this has been around for 2 years, is this considered a bug or a feature? (honest question)

[nelek@…]

How am I supposed to work around this if I'm trying to build a package with dependencies? Even if i do the workaround, i still get the error for each other dependency I'm trying to build. For large sets this is totally unworkable.

And how can a serious bug like this exist for 2 years without a fix??
