muniversal portgroup broken with deferred loading

[saagarjha (Saagar Jha)]

I've noticed that with the changes in [06ff92efad0e3bf8226ccdebfef3d05ba7142f43/macports-base] (and subsequent plumbing commits) the universal portgroup does not work anymore:

$ sudo port -N upgrade outdated
Error: libiconv: Error executing universal: can't rename "portconfigure::configure_main": command doesn't exist
Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there
is a bug.

I can selfupdate just fine but I cannot upgrade anything because of this (I assume because I have +universal in my config).

This is because this portgroup is modifying code that is not part of the public API for Portfiles.

In 899cf2d790010b4a4e9dc2e4f7111d5530b223df/macports-ports (master):

muniversal 1.1 pg: don't rename standard procs

See: #74189

Ah, I see. Thanks!

@saagarjha: Is it working for you now?

@MarcusCalhoun-Lopez: Is there a way that base could provide an interface to allow muniversal to do what it needs to do without messing around with internals? Is there a test suite for muniversal that could be used to verify that it still works after base changes?

[saagarjha (Saagar Jha)]

Yep, I was able to upgrade without problems after running selfupdate to get that commit
