intltool: old perl variants need to be removed

[roberto-marquardt]

After updating the OS to 10.9.5, upgrading of gnucash failed. The problem might be an inconsistency in the current repository file with the new OS. Assistance is requested, a log file of the installation is attached.

All Xcode and MacPort were updated. The port was uninstalled and cleaned; re-installation failed.

Installation command that generates the error:

sudo port install gnucash

What does port installed intltool say?

[roberto-marquardt]

sudo port install intltool Error: Requested variants "+perl5_16" do not match original selection "+perl5_12". Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean intltool' or specify the force option (-f). To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

Error: Processing of port intltool failed

[roberto-marquardt]

Ops,

port installed intltool replies intltool @0.50.2_2+perl_12 intltool @0.50.2_2+perl_16 (active)

It could be, however, that the p5.16 version has become active because in the meantime sudo port install intltool -f was run

When I then retry to install gnucash with sudo port install gnucash, installation is broken with the error that libguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-3.3.dylib is being used by active guile port; the prog recommends to deactiavte the port or to use port -f activate guile18, which I did; finally, gnucash installation runs up to configuration, which now breaks because of an error at the execution of /usr/bin/clang -V;

Log?

I have a similar issue although maybe unrelated: when running “sudo port upgrade outdated” I get the same error.

Sounds like the real problem here is that intltool still has perl5_8/10/12/14 variants which depend on now-obsolete ports.

This should be fixed by r131507 -- please reopen if you're still having issues.
