is rumored to have said:</p>
<blockquote><p dir="auto">Hi,</p>
<p dir="auto">When doing a self update via Terminal, I get the following warning:</p>
<p dir="auto"> ~$ sudo port upgrade outdated
<br />
Nothing to upgrade.
<br />
---> Scanning binaries for linking errors
<br />
Warning: Error parsing file /opt/local/bin/g[: Error opening or reading file
<br />
---> No broken files found.
<br />
---> No broken ports found.</p>
<p dir="auto">Emphasis mine, of course. There is no file “g[“ in /opt/local/bin/. I ran this using macports 2.10.0, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 on an Intel MacBook Pro, late 2019. Anyone know what this means?</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">If you've installed the coreutils package, /opt/local/bin/g[ *should* exist. It is the GNU version of '[' which is better known as 'test'. You may be able to resolve this by reinstalling coreutils.</p>
<p dir="auto">I do not know the history of why '[' exists apart from 'test' but it does, in most systems as a hardlink. The MacPorts coreutils package includes both as distinct files.</p>
