/opt/local/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish is in the contents but the file doesn't exist and causes errors on rev-upgrade.

If /opt/local/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish does not exist on your disk after installing the git port, there is something wrong with your machine. It does exist on my machine.

Perhaps something deleted it after you installed the port. To get it back, you could:

sudo port -f deactivate git
sudo port activate git

[kurthindenburg (Kurt Hindenburg)]

I guess I should have thought of that. I wonder how it got deleted. The deactivate/activate worked. Thanks.

Just wanted to note that I noticed this exact issue this morning and the deactivate/activate steps corrected the error. Aside from updating ports and updating the system to 12.2.1 I can't think of any actions that would have been messing with the /opt directory.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Me too. I keep doing the deactivate/activate fix and this error keeps popping up again. There is a bug somewhere.

This seems to be a duplicate of ticket:64243.

I run into this issue after each macOS update (12.2, 12.2.1, 12.3). Reactivating is a workaround, but shouldn't be necessary.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Is everybody who experiences this problem running macOS 12 or later? Is everybody on arm64? I see this problem too on the macOS 12 arm64 buildbot worker.

Is the macOS update perhaps moving Git Gui.app somewhere else, such as into a Relocated Items or Incompatible Software folder? I can't find it.

It's sounding like a bug in macOS 12 to me.

Replying to ryandesign:

Is everybody who experiences this problem running macOS 12 or later?

Yes. macOS 12.

Is everybody on arm64?

No

[breun (Nils Breunese)]

I've been experiencing this on macOS 12, but on an Intel Mac.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

macOS 12 arm64, problem also started showing up after an update. Deactivate & re-activate of the port fixed it.

Maybe it's related to the space in the filename? Can somebody who still has the problem check whether these other files still exist?

/opt/local/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/Info.plist
/opt/local/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/AppMain.tcl
/opt/local/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/Resources/git-gui.icns

rev-upgrade wouldn't scan those other files since they're not binaries, so we might not notice immediately if they're gone.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Those files do not exist for me. The entire Git Gui.app was apparently deleted during my last update.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has [4bfc47deb6919ff5a90fdf8c6b90317586324322/macports-ports] helped with this problem? Let us know if you still see the problem after updating to git @2.35.2_1.

[ylluminate (ylluminate)]

I also have been hit by this after an update to 12.4ß1. It appears as though the suggested deactivation + activation resolved it for the time being...

[i0ntempest]

The update to 12.4b3 did not make this reappear. So I guess it's fixed?
