Problems upgrading outdated ports/Installing new ports

[wnukk14]

Hey Everyone,

So I have the dreaded mac ports update bug. I have recently updated my software (From Yosemite...) on my 2014 macbook pro, and yesterday I did a port self update, but when I tried port upgrade outdated, I ran into two main issues (which may or may not be related).

The first has to do with py34-numpy, which is preventing me from installing any new ports. Every time I try to install a port (almost any port) I get this runaround:

sudo port install autoconf
Password:
--->  Computing dependencies for autoconf
--->  Cleaning autoconf
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
--->  Found 48 broken files, matching files to ports     
--->  Found 2 broken ports, determining rebuild order
You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.
The following ports will be rebuilt:
 py34-h5py @2.5.0
 py34-isce @2.0.0+gcc48
Continue? [Y/n]: y
--->  Computing dependencies for py34-numpy
--->  Fetching distfiles for py34-numpy
Error: Failed to fetch py34-numpy: must set at least one Fortran variant (e.g. +gfortran, +gccX, +g95)
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_python_py-numpy/py34-numpy/main.log for details.
Error: rev-upgrade failed: Error rebuilding py34-h5py

and the log file doesn't really have any additional information... I've never seen the Fortran variant issue before, and I think I have almost every fortran variant installed, so I'm not sure how to address the issue.

The second issue occurs whenever I try to upgrade an outdated port. I get an error message:

sudo port upgrade outdated
Error: process_cmd failed: can't use empty string as operand of "-"

Which I have never seen before and also have no idea how to address.

I've tried cleaning and several other options, but I can't find a way around these issues. Any ideas for something I could try? Let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks for you time.

Remember to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac.

You said you upgraded your software from Yosemite... to a newer OS version, such as Sierra, I presume? If so, did you follow the migration instructions? If not, please do.

The first error explains itself. You must select one of the available Fortran variants when you install pyXX-numpy.

The second error is unfamiliar to me as well. Does it also happen when you upgrade specific individual ports, or only when you try to upgrade all outdated ports?
