readline upgrade breaks various ports

[jimjag (Jim Jagielski)]

The upgrade of readline to @7.0.003 breaks the following ports (at least):

  gawk @4.1.4
  gdbm @1.13
  gnupg @1.4.21
  gnupg2 @2.0.30
  ghostscript @9.21+x11

Note that these expect readline6, as shown in the config log:

:info:configure configure: creating ./config.status
:info:configure config.status: creating Makefile
:info:configure dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.6.dylib
:info:configure   Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/gawk
:info:configure   Reason: image not found
:info:configure sed: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure ./config.status: line 1100: 67446 Done(1)                 eval sed \"\$ac_sed_extra\" "$ac_file_inputs"

In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers readline), if any.

For ghostscript see #54019.

/usr/local is not applicable to the root cause of this error... The issue is that ports are looking for libreadline.6.dylib which does not exist (libreadline.7.dylib does) after the readline upgrade.

Log from the build of emacs +x11:

:info:configure configure: creating ./config.status
:info:configure config.status: creating ./doc/man/emacs.1
:info:configure dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.6.dylib
:info:configure   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/gawk
:info:configure   Reason: image not found

Not sure if this means emacs port needs to be fixed, or just gawk.

Upgrading gawk to 4.1.4_3 first resolved the emacs installation problem.

That worked for me, too. I had 30+ broken ports that would fail during configure, but upgrading gawk first allowed rev-upgrade to rebuild the rest of them.

Ditto. Found this issue via trying to upgrade via "outdated" metaport. Broke on ImageMagick, then detected broken ports, failing on gd2. Explicit port upgrade gawk allowed me to proceed to port upgrade outdated. Thanks for the workaround!
