This builds and installs under SL for me when using the +no_x11 variant.

Hello, I added the +no_x11 option and it still fails with:

This builds for me.

[djspiewak@…]

I am experiencing the same issue. This is definitely not just an isolated issue.

[djspiewak@…]

Cc Me!

a clean install of OS X SL, install of MacPorts and a port install imagemagick works; will tra just a clean MacPorts using an upgraded OS X ...

[djspiewak@…]

I can report a fix: completely clean your /opt/local/ directory (rm -rf) and reinstall MacPorts from scratch. This seems to only happen when installing over a previous MacPorts tree (even one which has been completely uninstalled).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, then there is no bug. When you upgrade to a new major version of Mac OS X, you must rebuild MacPorts and all your ports, and the easiest way to do that is to uninstall and reinstall MacPorts and all ports. See the Migration page.

[djspiewak@…]

I was following the migration page. What it failed to tell me was that I had to completely remove the /opt/local/ directory in order to complete the uninstallation.

[ch-macports@…]

I'm confused. The migration page says:

"As of MacPorts 1.8.0, you can alternatively try a single command to rebuild all installed ports for your new platform ... If you encounter such a problem, please report it so we can fix it."

Shouldn't this bug be used to track the fact that there's a problem building ncursesw for some upgrading trees rather than just marking this invalid?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok. Can anybody identify why the upgrade did not succeed?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

If someone still experiencing the problem will clean the port and try again with debug output and attach it to this ticket, we can look into what's happening.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The automatic upgrade method has been removed from the wiki because it exposed too many issues like this.
