ld64 @136 upgrade failure

[karel@…]

When run as root, port upgrade ld64 fails. Port clean doesn't help and AFAIK the directory settings are OK, other upgrades succeed without a problem.

The log is attached. This is somehow due to incorrect directory settings; tar extraction barfs. Abbreviated output when -d flag is given follows:

Replying to karel@…:

Addendum. This appears to happen with other ports as well, for example php55, but not with php5. I don't recall changing anything lately, so.. puzzled..

[karel@…]

After some messing around I found it was caused by the fact that my /opt/ directory is a symlink onto a different filesystem (in order to distribute files). Still, weird that some packages will install and others won't. So far I "fixed" it by adding

sandbox_enable

to /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf. I am not sure that this is the right way to proceed.. info appreciated.
