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 Error: Target org.macports.pkg returned: shell command "PMResourceLocale=English /Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker -AppleLanguages "(English)" --root /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_nmap/work/destroot --out /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_nmap/work/nmap-4.50.pkg --resources /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_nmap/work/pkg_resources --title "nmap-4.50" --info /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_nmap/work/Info.plist --target 10.3 --domain system --id org.macports.nmap" returned error 1 Command output: Warning: Unknown argument: -AppleLanguages Warning: Unknown argument: (English)

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.
