installing py26-scipy fails

installing py26-scipy fails.

The port description states that py26-scipy version is 0.9.0. In the build directory, under the [long_folder_name]_py26-scipy/work folder, I see a folder called scipy-0.8.0/. The PKG-INFO files confirms that the package version is 0.8.0.

The installation fails with the following log:

:info:build sh: line 0: cd: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py26-scipy/work/scipy-0.9.0: No such file or directory

That makes sense since the package/folder is 0.8.0.

The directory is for scipy-0.9.0 for me:

$ sudo port extract py26-scipy
--->  Fetching py26-scipy
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for py26-scipy
--->  Extracting py26-scipy
$ cd `port dir py26-scipy`/work
$ ls
scipy-0.9.0
$

try cleaning, i.e. sudo port clean py26-scipy, and then try installing again.

I guess you had a partial build of 0.8.0 in there? And maybe your system time is incorrect such that the new portfile doesn't look newer than the work dir, so it wasn't autocleaned?

Cleaning py26-scipy, as suggested by ram2macports.org, solved this issue. Thanks for the support.
