tar: Failed to set default locale

Reported by: mkealiher@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Mac OS X v10.6.8
Macports version 2.1.2

Xcode 3.2.6
Component versions: DevToolsCore-1809.0; DevToolsSupport-1806.0
BuildVersion: 10M2518

I cannot install any port whatsoever. I'm either getting the "tar: Failed to set default locale" error or this no destroot error -

"Error: org.macports.install for port [NAME] returned: no destroot found at:"

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The log shows lines that say "Skipping completed" so this was not a clean attempt. Run "sudo port clean libiconv", then try again, and attach the new main.log if it fails again.

The other error you mentioned, "no destroot found", sounds like #29223, which is also caused by not cleaning before trying again.

As for the "tar: Failed to set default locale" error, that of course shouldn't be happening; I haven't seen that error befor. That suggests something is unusual about your tar command. What's the output of "tar --version"?

The "sudo port clean libiconv" command ran successfully. Tried again to install it and received the same error.

tar --version
bsdtar 2.6.2 - libarchive 2.6.2

Thanks....

Just to check, you get the same result running /usr/bin/tar specifically? What does locale -a print?

There is nothing to fix here. Since Trac is not for tech support, follow-up on the Macports Users mailing list instead.
