gettext @0.19.3_0 deleted /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib

[geoffd2]

Auto-update of gettext failed, now /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib is missing and various other software is broken. Tried to revert to old version, that fails also now.

1. You replaced /bin/sh with MacPorts’ bash, presumably to counter Shellshock.
2. MacPorts’ bash links against libintl.8.dylib, which is part of the gettext port.
3. During the upgrade process, MacPorts deactivated the old gettext, thus removing libintl.8.dylib and breaking your new /bin/sh.
4. Now MacPorts cannot do anything because /bin/sh is broken.

You need to replace /bin/sh and /bin/bash with working binaries. Restore them from backups or from your OS X installation media.

If you want to re-harden your system afterwards, ask for advice on macports-users.

Correct on all counts. I had backed them up, fortunately. Thank you sir.
