port -R upgrade ... goes into a possible infinite loop

[jneitzel@…]

Hello,

I have never reported a MacPorts bug before. So, hopefully this report contains enough info to fix the problem.

Machine: 20" iMac, CPU: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, RAM: 1024 MB (1 GB), OS: Mac OS X 10.4.9 (8P2137)

In short, I find that a port upgrade rarely works as expected unless you are only upgrading one port with no dependencies or dependents... IIRC, in such a case, it does seem to work fine. However, today I notice at least the following 2 problems:

1) % sudo port -R upgrade outdated Password: ---> Fetching pango ---> Attempting to fetch pango-1.16.2.tar.bz2 from ​http://mandril.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/linux/gnome.org/sources/pango/1.16 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for pango ---> Extracting pango ---> Applying patches to pango ---> Configuring pango ---> Building pango with target all ---> Staging pango into destroot ---> Deactivating pango 1.16.1_1 ---> Installing pango 1.16.2_0 ---> Activating pango 1.16.2_0 ---> Cleaning pango ---> Fetching gimp2

[snip]

---> Fetching freetype ---> Attempting to fetch freetype-2.3.4.tar.bz2 from ​http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for freetype ---> Extracting freetype ---> Applying patches to freetype ---> Configuring freetype ---> Building freetype with target all ---> Staging freetype into destroot ---> Deactivating freetype 2.3.3_0 ---> Installing freetype 2.3.4_0 ---> Activating freetype 2.3.4_0 ---> Cleaning freetype ---> Deactivating freetype 2.3.3_0 Error: Deactivating freetype 2.3.3_0 failed: Active version of freetype is not 2.3.3_0 but 2.3.4_0. ---> Deactivating cairo 1.4.2_0 Error: Deactivating cairo 1.4.2_0 failed: Active version of cairo is not 1.4.2_0 but 1.4.4_0. tclsh(5981,0xa000cfc0) malloc: * vm_allocate(size=1110016) failed (error code=3) tclsh(5981,0xa000cfc0) malloc: * error: can't allocate region tclsh(5981,0xa000cfc0) malloc: * set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug unable to realloc 1109324 bytes IOT trap

... After it failed, there was still 1 outdated port (sqlite3). So, I did the following, which appears to eventually go into an infinite loop. It goes on for a good while... So, I will tell you now that I eventually have to use kill(1) to terminate it w/ a SIGTERM.

2) % sudo port -R -f upgrade sqlite3 Password: ---> Fetching ncursesw ---> Verifying checksum(s) for ncursesw ---> Extracting ncursesw ---> Applying patches to ncursesw ---> Configuring ncursesw ---> Building ncursesw with target all ---> Staging ncursesw into destroot ---> Unable to uninstall ncursesw 5.6_0+darwin_8, the following ports depend on it: ---> ncurses Warning: Uninstall forced.

... Anyway, I hope this is helpful.

Notice that despite the problems, I no longer have any outdated ports. And they all appear to function as expected. So, I suppose it works (just not very well)?
