rev-upgrade: SuiteSparse_CHOLMOD fails to rebuild. (libstdc++/libc++ related?)

[iefdev (Eric F)]

I've had e few (broken) ports that wants to be rebuilt. Haven't had the time to sit down with it. So, after uninstalling a few ports, and deactivating gimp2 (+related) which fails to upgrade - the number of broken ports was reduced to this one.

SuiteSparse_CHOLMOD: it runs into a rebuild loop and fails after 3 times. The output of the dry debug run says:

$  sudo port -d -y rev-upgrade
...
SuiteSparse_CHOLMOD is using libstdc++ (this installation is configured to use libc++)
...

I had a the fix for that in earlier versions of MacPorts, but that was removed later, right?

“As of version 2.6.0, MacPorts will use libc++ by default when building ports. You no longer need to make any changes on these OS versions.” — LibcxxOnOlderSystems#LionandMountainLion

Is it failing to rebuild, or still showing the same incorrect linkage after rebuilding? If the former, please attach a non-dry-run log.

Replying to jmroot:

Thanks Jim… Yes, still failing, after 3 attempts. I'll attach a number of logs. I re-did the dry run and combined both (log and output) in a textfil. Then I ran sudo port -d rev-upgrade which produced 2 logs + txtfile with the output.

The terminal output ends with:

...
...
