Problems installing Gramps under MacPorts.

[David Rowe]

Further to my previous email (11/8/07 21:22 - Problems with Gnucash & 
Gramps).

I have noticed that the Gramps portfile has been updated to Gramps 
2.2.8, just after my previous message.

I tried selfupgrading MacPorts, cleaning gramps and gnome-doc-utils and 
then reattempted 'sudo port install gramps' to see if the new portfile 
would work.

Unfortunately, it failed in exactly the same way as before:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

gnome-themes nautilus eel
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

However, this seems to be exactly the same problem that has arisen with 
a number of other ports as a result of the upgrade to port 1.5.10, e.g. 
'more mtree violations (Spoke too soon)' from jeff at cjstubbs.org at 
11/8/07 20:33 and the cure seems to involve adding 
"destroot.violate_mtree yes" at a strategic place in the portfile.
Can I place a polite request for this to be done.
