Port "smokeping" should depend on "perl5"

[schneider.pj@…]

I had a fresh Mac OS X 10.5.7 installed. I installed the latest MacPorts and wanted to just install smokeping.

I found that smokeping could not be installed, because it says "/opt/local/bin/perl" not found".

After installing the port "perl5" everything went fine.

It appears to do that (was updated in r50055) which is 2.4.2_2, so make sure your MacPorts install is current (via sudo port selfupdate).

server:~ schneider$ sudo port selfupdate Password:

MacPorts base version 1.710 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.710

The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated server:~ schneider$ port list | grep smokeping smokeping @2.4.2 net/smokeping server:~ schneider

Wtf?

[schneider.pj@…]

Sorry!

server:~ schneider$ sudo port selfupdate

server:~ schneider$ port list | grep smokeping
smokeping @2.4.2 net/smokeping
server:~ schneider

Hmmm... Now I found it. I'm not sure why I ran into this, but it says that smokeping already depends on perl5.

So you are right, blb. This can be deleted/closed. I cannot do this, it seems many functions in trac here are blocked for me, even in my own tickets?!

Thank you for your time!

server:~ schneider$ port info smokeping
smokeping @2.4.2, Revision 2 (net, perl)
Variants:    apple_apache

SmokePing is a deluxe latency measurement tool. It can measure, store, and
display latency, latency distribution, and packet loss. SmokePing uses RRDtool
to maintain a longterm data-store and to draw pretty graphs, giving up to the
minute information on the state of each network connection.

To see which version you did install, use port installed smokeping, see if it is @2.4.2_2 or not.

[schneider.pj@…]

server:~ schneider$ port installed smokeping
The following ports are currently installed:
  smokeping @2.4.2_2+apple_apache (active)
server:~ schneider$ 

It is @2.4.2_2, but as everything is installed by now, I am not able to reproduce the error, since instaling perl5 fixed it :(
