Port MPKG Creation error

[jpollock1@…]

Attempting to use sudo port mpkg nmap to create an install metapackage for nmap. Receive an error about English language. Error:

sudo port mpkg nmap
--->  Creating pkg for nmap-4.50

Where are these arguments stored? Any ideas?

Have figured out the issue, though error doesn't match the resolution. I removed all ports and reinstalled them using the -k option (to not clean the port after install) and now mpkg works fine. Interesting since the error is from packagemaker about the language.

Seem to be solved.

The warnings about "-AppleLanguages English" is unfortunate, but are a workaround to bugs in PackageMaker.app on Leopard where it otherwise creates packages in the current language only.
