py27-ptyprocess "no destroot found at..." when trying to install or upgrade

[esbailey@…]

When attempting an upgrade of outdated packages, py27-ptyprocess fails with the following log:

I attempted the following with no success:

port clean installed
port upgrade outdated

Same error.

port uninstall py27-ptyprocess
port clean py27-ptyprocess
port upgrade outdated

produced this message:

--->  Cleaning py27-ptyprocess

after which I did:

port upgrade outdated

and things seem to have proceeded as expected from that point forward.

HOWEVER: it seems to me like there might be a bug in the activation process or an issue with destroot. This is why I'm filing the ticket for someone to check.

Thank you.

I cannot reproduce this and the Portfile looks fine to me.

I only would propose that a supported_archs noarch flag is added, but this is unrelated.

Replying to petr@…:

Sorry. Will do in the future. this is my first bug report.

[esbailey@…]

Any idea as to what could have happened in my case? Am I doing something wrong using MacPorts? I've pretty much been a "passive user" to date, doing the

port selfupdate
port upgrade outdated
port uninstall inactive

And I also use the

port_cutleaves

script to help prune out stuff I don't use.

Any ideas?
