 The *.sty files in the source directory are identical to the ones in the
 destination directory.[[BR]]

 If I delete the file in the destination directory and rerun the update,
 same error. [[BR]]

 If I delete the file in the source directory, error on the next file in
 the list.[[BR]]

 If I delete all files in the source directory, error: no files match the
 *.sty glob pattern.[[BR]]

 In other words, running port once copies these files into the destination
 directory, then tries to copy them again (at least in my situation).[[BR]]


 There is a recent change, https://trac.macports.org/changeset/126928 ,
 which seems to be responsible for the extra copy.  (Obviously the files
 were ''not'' being copied in some circumstances before. ) It adds some
 lines to the file[[BR]]

 {{{
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/print/latex2html/Portfile
 }}}

 '''Workaround'''[[BR]]


 Once you've tried to build (or install or upgrade) the port, the Portfile
 should be in the above location.  Edit the file and change this line:

 {{{
 file copy ${file} ${texmfdir}
 }}}

 to this

 {{{
 file copy -force ${file} ${texmfdir}
 }}}

 and then re-run the install / build / upgrade.[[BR]]

 (That really is a single dash in front of the word force, Portfiles use
 embedded TCL commands.)
