popt fails to build because it can't find install.sh

[lrivers@…]

since rsync depends on popt and port uses rsync and 10.4.5's rsync is borked, this needs fixing

Assign to maintainer.

This sequence builds for me:

port sync port -f uninstall popt port clean --all popt port -v install popt

However, if you don't have a working rsync, then upgrading popt isn't happening.

There's a precompiled popt-1.10.4 *.rpm package at

​http://wraptastic.org/pub/dports

Download the popt-1.10.4-1.ppc.rpm pkg, and the rpm2cpio.sh payload extraction.

Install the popt binary payload by doing

mkdir /var/tmp/xxx cd /var/tmp/xxx rpm2cpio.sh popt-1.10.4-1.ppc.rpm | cpio -dim find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; tar cf - . | (cd /; tar xvf -)
