keepnote @ 0.7.7_1 staging error - processing fails

[allencbarr@…]

Mac OS X Version: 10.10.1 XCode Version: 6.1.1

Tried to launch Keepnote and receieved a message that my installation was broken. I uninstalled and then attempted to reinstall. The reinstall failed with the message:

Error: org.macports.destroot for port keepnote returned: ln: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_office_keepnote/keepnote/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/keepnote: File exists

I then uninstalled all ports, MacPorts itself, and then reinstalled MacPorts using the Yosemite installer. I then ran "sudo port install keepnote". All the dependencies installed but Keepnote failed to install with the same error as above:

Error: org.macports.destroot for port keepnote returned: ln: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_office_keepnote/keepnote/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/keepnote: File exists

Please see the log file for port keepnote for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_office_keepnote/keepnote/main.log

I have attached the log file.

This happens because the python portgroup was changed to default to installing an unversioned symlink for application ports like keepnote. The solution is to remove the line from the keepnote port that adds another such symlink.
