Let's keep discussion on the mailing list please. Use the Reply To

The problem I reported was a problem in the mtree checker. It has  
been fixed in trunk and in the release_1_5 branch and will be  
included in the next version of MacPorts after 1.5.1. At that time,  
mtree violations will also become warnings instead of fatal errors,  
to give us time to clean up the existing ports.

The error you reported in ghostscript is unrelated, but I'm not sure  
how to fix it and need assistance from the list:

The ghostscript port install these items which violate the mtree:

   /opt/local/man/de/man1/dvipdf.1
   /opt/local/man/de/man1/eps2eps.1
   /opt/local/man/de/man1/font2c.1
   /opt/local/man/de/man1/gsnd.1
   /opt/local/man/de/man1/pdf2dsc.1
   /opt/local/man/de/man1/pdf2ps.1

   /opt/local/man/de/man1/ps2pdf.1

   /opt/local/man/de/man1/ps2pdf13.1

   /opt/local/man/man1/pdfopt.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/pf2afm.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/pfbtopfa.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/printafm.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/ps2ascii.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/ps2epsi.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/ps2pdf.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/ps2pdf12.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/ps2pdf13.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/ps2pdfwr.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/ps2ps.1
   /opt/local/man/man1/wftopfa.1

I thought I could fix this by adding this directive:

configure.args      --mandir=${prefix}/share/man

When I do that, the mtree violation disappears, but also all of the  
above files do not get installed. They don't get installed in $ 
{prefix}/share/man; they don't get installed anywhere. Why?

I'm using MacPorts built from the release_1_5 branch r27780 which  
includes the new fixes to the mtree checker.
