Error determining file type of `/opt/local/bin/prove': lstat(/opt/local/bin/prove):no such file or directory

[Ryan Schmidt]

I just upgraded from MacPorts 2.0 branch to trunk, and so upon upgrading a port, I got this:



$ sudo port -u install pngcrush

/opt/local/bin/prove should of course have come from the perl5 port, but on my system, I have:

$ port contents perl5 | grep prove
  /opt/local/bin/prove.mp_1328294983
  /opt/local/share/man/man1p/prove.1pm
