[MacPorts] #44220: latexml fails in ACTIVATION step. "mktexlsr not found"

Curious; I was aiming for warnings, instead of errors.
Were you installing the +mactex variant?
{{{
sudo port install latexml +mactex
}}}
That's expected to give a warning about violating the macports
filesystem layout, *but* the 2nd message should have said that
it was installing style files in mactex's directory, and thus outside
macports --- I was hoping that message would be reassuring! :>

It seems to have printed the default 2nd message.  But looks
like it installed correctly.  If you run
{{{
   kpsewhich latexml.sty
}}}
it should show where it installed latexml.sty.  Should come
back with something in texmf/...../latexml.sty
If so, everything should be fine.

Thanks for the commit, folks!!

Comment (by damon.english@…):

 Ok.  Well it seems to install, with warnings.  Thanks to one and all.

 {{{
 Warning: violation by /usr

 Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it
 will be an error in future releases!
 --->  Installing LaTeXML @0.8.0_0
 --->  Activating LaTeXML @0.8.0_0

 LaTeXML works best with some version of TeX installed.  Please consider
 +texlive variant, or PRE-install MacTeX and use +mactex variant.
