As a workaround I am using gdbm@1.20, commit 4756df1a8691db45b55cbe47124fd34945dd4914 (https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/tree/4756df1a8691db45b55cbe47124fd34945dd4914/databases/gdbm).

Edit: Strangely, when I installed clang-12 it autoupdated to gdbm@1.21 without a problem:

$ sudo port install clang-12

Summary: Failed to destroot gdbm: command execution failedgdbm @1.21: destroot failure in some timezones

In the attached main.log's build phase I see:

Making all in doc
make[2]: Entering directory `/path/to/gdbm/work/gdbm-1.21/doc'
Updating ./version.texi
make[2]: Leaving directory `/path/to/gdbm/work/gdbm-1.21/doc'

Whereas on my High Sierra system I just see:

Making all in doc
make[2]: Entering directory `/path/to/gdbm/work/gdbm-1.21/doc'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/path/to/gdbm/work/gdbm-1.21/doc'

And then in the destroot phase of the attached main.log where we see all the has no Up field errors on mine I just see the installation of the pre-existing .info files.

The has no Up field errors are apparently indicative of attempting to rebuild the documentation with a too-old version of makeinfo, which can be rectified by installing the texinfo port. However the real question is why the build system believes it should rebuild the documentation on your systems yet on mine it is happy to accept the documentation as included in the distribution.

Looking in doc/Makefile.in, I see that it decides to update version.texi if its timestamp is older than the timestamps of gdbm.texi and the configure script. When the gdbm port was updated to 1.21, a patch for the configure script was added, meaning that its modification timestamp would be changed, meaning that it tries to update version.texi, only it doesn't update the file directly: it updates a temporary file called stamp-vti, and if that file's contents matches version.texi then it does not update version.texi, otherwise it copies stamp-vti to version.texi to update it. And based on the updated version.texi, it later in the destroot phase decides to rebuild the documentation.

As distributed, version.texi contains:

@set UPDATED 2 September 2021
@set UPDATED-MONTH September 2021
@set EDITION 1.21
@set VERSION 1.21

This date does not indicate a timezone. I am in CDT timezone whereas the main.log indicates NZDT timezone. If I change my system's timezone to NZDT then I am able to reproduce the issue, because then version.texi has been updated to:

@set UPDATED 3 September 2021
@set UPDATED-MONTH September 2021
@set EDITION 1.21
@set VERSION 1.21

The problem was solved when gdbm was updated to 1.22 and the configure script patch was removed because it had been incorporated by the developers.

We must remember in the future that if we patch the configure script, we should also touch version.texi so that documentation is not unnecessarily (and sometimes unsuccessfully) rebuilt. This probably applies not only to this port but to any port that builds documentation with texinfo.

I have reported the bug to the developers of automake here: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=51609

comment:7 Changed 2 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

The automake developers tell me it's already fixed in automake 1.16, whereas gdbm 1.22's makefiles were generated with 1.15 so they don't include the fix. I've reported the problem to gdbm's bug reporting mailing list. I cannot find a web-based archive of the mailing list so I can't provide a link to the report.
