Description
I was hoping to install texlive -doc -medium +full
(@2023
) and psutils
(@p17_1
) being a part of it fails to install. To give it a try, and also to keep the main.log simple, I tried installing psutils
(@p17_1
) individually, and it also fails with the following message:
Error: Failed to activate psutils: command execution failed while executing "system $cmdstring"
P.S.: psutils
appears to have no maintainer.

The log says:
:msg:activate ---> Activating psutils @p17_1 :debug:activate Using bsdtar with HFS+ compression (if valid) :debug:activate Using /usr/bin/bzip2 :debug:activate system: /usr/bin/bzip2 -d -c /opt/local/var/macports/software/psutils/psutils-p17_1.darwin_22.arm64.tbz2 | ( bsdtar -xvp --hfsCompression -f - ) :info:activate Command failed: /usr/bin/bzip2 -d -c /opt/local/var/macports/software/psutils/psutils-p17_1.darwin_22.arm64.tbz2 | ( bsdtar -xvp --hfsCompression -f - ) :info:activate Killed by signal: 9
So why did bzip2
and/or bsdtar
get killed? Did you use trace mode (the -t
flag)? If so, trace mode is broken on macOS 13 and later so you'll have to forgo trace mode.

Ah, the log also says you are using trace mode:
:debug:activate Tracelib Sandbox is:
:debug:activate Tracemode will respect recursively collected port dependencies:
So that confirms it. Duplicate of #66358.

Oh, wow, thank you! (Still having some issues, but those would be a topic for another ticket if they persist, and...) I have now passed that part of the installation.
It might be worthwhile to put a warning/note right where the -t
flag is recommended, here (MacPorts Guide, section 3.1.11 `port install`), as the last resort before filing such tickets.
