texlive-bin @2015_4: /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/htlatex is a broken symlink

[PaulWessel (Paul Wessel)]

htlatex no longer gets installed. It is supposed to be there:

port contents texlive-htmlxml | grep htlatex
  /opt/local/bin/htlatex
  /opt/local/libexec/texlive/texbin/htlatex
  /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/scripts/tex4ht/htlatex.sh

and while opt/local/bin/htlatex links to /opt/local/libexec/texlive/texbin/htlatex the later is missing. I found a web hit about this problem going back to August 31, 2015 ​http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.macports.user/38780 but see no ticket here at macports, hence this addition.

Actually:

$ port -q cont texlive-htmlxml|grep htlatex|xargs ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    43 Oct 15 09:18 /opt/local/bin/htlatex -> /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/htlatex
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    43 Oct 15 09:18 /opt/local/libexec/texlive/texbin/htlatex -> /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/htlatex
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1579 May 19  2014 /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/scripts/tex4ht/htlatex.sh

Both /opt/local/bin/htlatex and /opt/local/libexec/texlive/texbin/htlatex are symlinks to /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/htlatex, which is provided by the texlive-bin port, which is a dependency of the texlive-htmlxml port. So far so good.

However, /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/htlatex is a symlink to a nonexistent file:

$ port -q cont texlive-bin|grep htlatex|xargs ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  26 Sep 17 03:59 /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/htlatex -> /scripts/tex4ht/htlatex.sh

That's the problem.

Here's another one:

$ port -q cont texlive-bin|grep mk4ht|xargs ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  24 Oct 16 21:41 /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/mk4ht -> /scripts/tex4ht/mk4ht.pl

Fails at destroot phase. Directory /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/scripts isn't created. Maybe the post-patch of the various Makefile.in files needs to be tweeked?
