libgpod 0.8.3_1+python27: failed to build: "error renaming "/opt/local/.../libgpod/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/python2.7": no such file or directory"

[juliangilbey (Julian Gilbey)]

I tried building this port, but I'm getting the error message:

error renaming "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_libgpod/libgpod/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/python2.7": no such file or directory

This has appeared in previous bug reports, but I do have swig-python installed, so that's not the cause. Hmmm.

The named directory has the following contents:

libgpod.4.dylib libgpod.a libgpod.dylib libgpod.la pkgconfig

There is a python2.7 in destroot, but it's in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_libgpod/libgpod/work/destroot/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib

Note that /opt/local/bin/python2.7 symlinks to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7, so this seems eminently reasonable.

I'm not sure how to solve this strange problem.

Build log

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The post-destroot block in the Portfile is trying to move the files from ${prefix}/lib/python2.7 to the proper framework location. But it looks like they're already there.

In 65c8c523930116c03f390191cfe3440e89ac7830/macports-ports (master):

libgpod: remove incorrect post-destroot

This may have been needed in the past, but the files are now apparently
already where they should be, so trying to move them causes the build
to fail.

Fixes: #58786

Awesome, thanks!
