Comment (by AgilentGCMS):
Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign]:
> What ''is'' unusual is that although MacPorts seems to be configured for
the prefix /Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/sequoia, I also see references
to /Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/sonoma in the log. Perhaps you have
created some symlinks between your different prefixes.
Oh, that's strange. Since macports needs to be built anew for each major
release, I install into a new prefix each time. It __shouldn't__ look at
{{{sonoma}}} now, but just to be safe I removed
{{{/Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/sonoma}}} entirely and retried building
after doing a {{{port clean inetutils}}}. This is now the error:
{{{
$ port install inetutils
---> Computing dependencies for inetutils
---> Fetching distfiles for inetutils
---> Verifying checksums for inetutils
---> Extracting inetutils
Error: reinplace: couldn't execute
"/Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/sonoma/libexec/gnubin/sed": no such file
or directory
Error: Failed to patch inetutils: reinplace sed(1) failed
}}}
I do not understand why it's looking for sed there. A simple {{{which
sed}}} tells me
{{{
$ which sed
/Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/sequoia/libexec/gnubin/sed
}}}
so it's very much in the path. Why would the build process look for a
specific {{{sed}}} as opposed to one in {{{PATH}}}?
