Macports installer endless loop

[dreamcat four]

Hi,

I'm writing a chef recipe to download and install macports
automatically. But when invoked by the chef "execute" methods, its
stuck in what seems to be an endless loop:

installer: Running package scripts….....
#
installer: Running package scripts….....
#
installer: Running package scripts….....
#
installer: Running package scripts….....
#


I can see a tclsh8.5 process, and 2 rsync processes hanging about.

I left the command running for a long time and it seemed never to exit.
Then I switched to using bash, and it still took a very long time.
But it finally exited.

This can be a problem for chef if the installer never exits.
Any ideas?
