trace mode fails with sh: /usr/bin/tar: No such file or directory

[Ken Cunningham]

I haven’t been able to use trace mode to test port installs because of the following error. Am I doing something wrong?



$ sudo port -vst install poco
--->  Fetching distfiles for poco
--->  poco-1.6.0-all.tar.bz2 does not exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/poco
--->  Attempting to fetch poco-1.6.0-all.tar.bz2 from https://distfiles.macports.org/poco
