octave @4.2.1_4+accelerate+app+docs+fltk+gfortran+graphicsmagick+qt4+sound failing to activate

[lpn25]

When running

sudo port install octave 

it installs a lot of dependencies and then gives:

--->  Activating octave @4.2.1_4+accelerate+app+docs+fltk+gfortran+graphicsmagick+qt4+sound
Error: Failed to activate octave: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave/octave/main.log for details.

The end of that log file is

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers octave), if any.

Forgot to mention that this is on 10.12.6

Looks like we need a revision bump, due to the changes in libgcc/gcc.

My machine just successfully finished its rebuild.

Replying to Schamschula:

Please ignore the comment below, I didn't update the sources and it was still giving me _4.

Which variant you had installed? Because the default one (4.2.1_4+accelerate+app+docs+fltk+gfortran+graphicsmagick+qt4+sound) failed again for me.

It still doesn't work for me with the same error. Somehow octave shows still revision 4 and not 5.

After running

sudo port selfupdate

the the output of

port info octave

is:

port info octave

This is fixed; the rsync server lagging behind is a separate issue.
