mesa @7.8.2 : fail to install +iglx variant

[arnaud.antkowiak@…]

When trying to install the +iglx variant of mesa on Snow Leopard, installation fails with the following log:

$ sudo port install mesa +universal+iglx
Error: reinplace: couldn't read file "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_mesa/work/Mesa-7.8.2/configs/darwin": no such file or directory
Error: mesa: Error executing iglx: reinplace sed(1) failed
Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

The complete log is attached below.

can you please: sudo port -v clean mesa sudo port -v install mesa +iglx

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

can you please: sudo port -v clean mesa sudo port -v install mesa +iglx

Thank you for the answer Jeremy. port -v successfully removed the working directory:

$ sudo port -v clean mesa
--->  Cleaning mesa
--->  Removing work directory for mesa

But the problem kept showing

$ sudo port -v install mesa +universal+iglx
Error: reinplace: couldn't read file "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_mesa/work/Mesa-7.8.2/configs/darwin": no such file or directory
Error: mesa: Error executing iglx: reinplace sed(1) failed
Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

Removing the +universal variant would not change the result.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The iglx variant is attempting to run the reinplace outside of any particular phase, i.e. it happens immediately when the port is parsed. So even port info mesa +iglx fails.

Weird. I wonder why that worked before...
