--------------------+--------------------
Hi there, I am new to MacPorts; I just installed 2.7.1 from scratch on
Mojave 10.14.6 in order to install and use the xdiskusage 1.54 port.
So after installing the .pkg installation package provided on
https://www.macports.org/install.php the first and only MacPort command
I've ever run was "port install xdiskusage".
The /opt/local/bin/xdiskusage command does work, but for almost all
directories it creates a second "phantom" box with question mark appended
to the directory name.
This happens no matter whether I run "xdiskusage" (i.e. no arguments),
"xdiskusage /some/path" or "df -k /some/path | xdiskusage -"; also adding
a trailing slash to /some/path does not make a difference.
I wonder whether this is maybe caused by improper handling of line
endings, as "echo -n '4711 local' | xdiskusage -" shows a box named
"local" while the usual "echo '4711 local' | xdiskusage -" names it
"local?".
Please see attached screenshots.
IMHO the purpose of "xdiskusage" — to provide a clean visual
representation of file system usage — is quite significantly affected by
this defect, so I set the priority to "normal" instead of "low".
