#44165: Incomplete mpkg of gtk2 port
---------------------------------+--------------------------------

     Type:  defect               |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal               |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                |    Version:  2.3.0
 Keywords:  mpkg incomplete      |       Port:  gtk2
---------------------------------+--------------------------------
 I encountered a problem with the .mpkg file created with the command
   sudo port mpkg gtk2
 When this package is installed on a clean Mac, the application that
 uses it can not display image files. This is confirmed because the gtk2
 package contains a gtk-demo program in /opt/local/share/gtk-2.0/demo
 and when you click on the Images widget example button ïn this program
 you see a broken image together with error messages like "failed to load
 image".
 It happens on all OSX versions 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9.
 After a long search for the problem I noticed that the folder
 /opt/local/share/mime on the clean Mac contained fewer files than on the
 machine with Macports on it. After copying all the missing files it
 finally worked!
 I had already sought the problem in the immodules cache (which is created
 with
 gtk-query-immodules-2.0) and found no problem with it, but noticed that it
 contains MIME names. So apparently gtk2 gives up loading an image if the
 MIME name cannot be resolved.

 Please fix this. Of course I don't know if it's simply a missing
 dependency in
 the gtk2 package or a fault in the mpkg/mdmg code.
 But gtk2 needs the MIME database included. Thanks,

 Manuel Op de Coul
