| Port: | py27-ipython |
Description
I can't run "man ipython" or "man ipython-2.7.1", even after running "sudo port select ipython ipython27". (That command fails with "Selecting 'ipython27' for 'ipython' failed: could not create new link "/opt/local/share/man/man1/ipcluster.1.gz": target "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share/man/man1/ipcluster.1.gz" doesn't exist")
It looks like the issue is with man page symlinks pointing to locations without files.

Trying to select ipython32 also fails:

Has duplicate #35211.

I have fixed this in r97277. Try upgrading the ipython port:
sudo port selfupdate sudo port upgrade py27-ipython
or
sudo port selfupdate sudo port upgrade py32-ipython
and try the select command again. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the ports, e.g.
sudo port uninstall py27-ipython sudo port clean -f --all py27-ipython
then install it again. Can anyone try this to let me know if the issue can be marked as resolved?
Note that for some reason, there are no man pages for ipython when using Python 3. This is a separate issue that I'm tracking with the ipython developers - but for now, using the select command should not cause any errors.
