 Priority:  Normal     |  Milestone:
Component:  ports      |    Version:  2.2.0
 Keywords:             |       Port:  ghostscript-9.10
-----------------------+--------------------------------
 I had to clean macports and start over today and many of my ports
 installed fine but not ghostscript.  I get the error:

 {{{
 --->  Fetching distfiles for ghostscript
 --->  Verifying checksums for ghostscript
 --->  Extracting ghostscript
 Error: org.macports.extract for port ghostscript returned: command
 execution failed
 Please see the log file for port ghostscript for details:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_Volumes_a2_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_print_ghostscript/ghostscript/main.log
 }}}

 the key part of the main.log file is
 {{{
 :debug:extract Executing command line:  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Volumes_a2_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_print_ghostscript/ghostscript/work"
 && /usr/bin/gzip -dc
 '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ghostscript/ghostscript-9.10.tar.gz' |
 /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: ghostscript-9.10: Cannot mkdir: Operation
 not permitted
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: ghostscript-9.10/base: Cannot mkdir: No
 such file or directory
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: ghostscript-9.10/base/szlibxx.h: Cannot
 open: No such file or directory
 }}}

 my hunch is that somehow it is a permissions problem related to the no-
 same-owner flag but i am just guessing.
 it fails whether i run it as root or using sudo.
 my other ports installed ok with sudo.

 i'll attached the whole main.log in case that helps...
 thanks!
 jeff
