p5-io-compress conflicts with p5-compress-zlib

[vinc17@…]

When I wanted to upgrade p5-libwww-perl, p5-io-compress was installed but couldn't be activated:

--->  Activating p5-io-compress @2.021_0
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix is being used by the active p5-compress-zlib port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate p5-io-compress' to force the activation.

and p5-compress-zlib mustn't be removed due to its various dependencies.

p5-compress-zlib no longer has the files that are conflicting with this new port. They have been moved to p5-io-compress. I fixed the dependency of all the ports that use p5-compress-zlib. Please update p5-compress-zlib before installing the new p5-io-compress and it will install fine.

I am still getting this issue. I updated my ports tree, removed all *compress* ports, and then reinstall git-core and I get the same conflict.

I also did a fresh rebuild of my tree tonight and see the same conflict.

Replying to narf_tm@…:

... Please update p5-compress-zlib before installing the new p5-io-compress and it will install fine.

I don't see any updated to p5-compress-zlib in a year...

doing a "port selfupdate" followed by "port upgrade p5-compress-zlib" doesn't do anything, and sure enough, the error happens again when I try to upgrade all outdated packages

[narf_tm@…]

I do apologize. When I reverted the changes someone made. I missed that the dependencies were also changed. Any of the compress ports that aren't 2.021 are no longer used... including p5-compress-zlib. The author of these perl modules restructured his packages making this a difficult transition.

[hahn.seb@…]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how am I supposed to get stuff working again?

I've tried:

port selfupdate
port uninstall p5-io-compress
port clean p5-io-compress
port upgrade outdated

and

port selfupdate
port upgrade upgrade p5-compress-zlib
port upgrade outdated

• none of that seems to work, unfortunately. I keep getting the same error...

[michael.paesold@…]

So just to make sure we all understand this correctly... given this list of packages matching "compress":

sudo port installed and \( p5-\*compress\* \)
The following ports are currently installed:
  p5-compress-raw-bzip2 @2.021_0 (active)
  p5-compress-raw-zlib @2.021_0 (active)
  p5-compress-zlib @2.015_0 (active)
  p5-io-compress @2.021_2 (active)
  p5-io-compress-base @2.015_0 (active)
  p5-io-compress-zlib @2.015_0 (active)

... we should remove all those ports that have version 2.015_0, i.e. p5-compress-zlib, p5-io-compress-base, and p5-io-compress-zlib.

Right now it seems the deps have not yet been changed, or the changes are not yet public, because after a port -v sync I cannot remove the packages yet:

sudo port uninstall -y p5-compress-zlib p5-io-compress-base p5-io-compress-zlib
--->  Unable to uninstall p5-compress-zlib 2.015_0, the following ports depend on it:
--->  	p5-libwww-perl
--->  	p5-io-zlib
--->  	p5-archive-tar
--->  	p5-io-compress
Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on p5-compress-zlib first.

The changes will not be public until the port index is updated later today. I have updated all the ports (i.e. p5-libwww-perl, p5-io-zlib, p5-archive-tar) to use p5-io-compress instead of p5-io-compress-zlib. I really wish I new of a way to make this smother.

[hahn.seb@…]

So this is all more than 5 hours ago, and in #macports I was told that the new port index should be available after max 2 hours. I am, however, still seeing the same failures. Could you maybe explicitly give the commands we have to run to resolve the issues? It's pretty frustrating to not know if the bug is really fixed and I'm running the wrong command, or if the bug is still there.

[john_owens@…]

The only reason I had all these packages was because of p5-mail-spamassassin. I was able to get everything to work after the latest port index by uninstalling "all those ports that have version 2.015_0" (which made me remove a few others that were dependencies) and then reinstalling spamassassin, which reinstalled all the new dependent packages. Problem solved.

Here's actually what I ran (FYI).

 9288  sudo port uninstall p5-compress-zlib
 9289  sudo port uninstall p5-archive-tar
 9290  sudo port uninstall p5-mail-spamassassin p5-io-zlib p5-libwww-perl p5-archive-tar
 9291  sudo port uninstall p5-io-compress-bzip2 p5-io-compress-zlib
 9292  sudo port uninstall p5-compress-zlib p5-io-compress-bzip2 p5-io-compress-zlib
 9293  sudo port uninstall p5-io-compress-base p5-io-compress-bzip2 p5-io-compress-zlib
 9294  port installed | grep compress
 9295  sudo port install p5-mail-spamassassin

[hahn.seb@…]

ah, yes, that worked. git-core with svn variant was the issue for me, so I uninstalled that and reinstalled. It's sad to see that there seems to be no other way out of this than to recompile

[blb@…]

Note that due to a bug in port (ticket #13054), ports which were depending on p5-io-compress-zlib should be completely uninstalled instead of simply upgraded; otherwise, they will remember the dependency on p5-io-compress-zlib.
