iso-codes_3.43 not found but seems to be the default

[Patty J Bragger-Wilkinson]

Thanks Ryan!

In trying to fix the problem, I attempted to perform a selfupdate, but that failed for me.. Since that’s totally unrelated to iso-codes, I’ll start a new thread with that problem.

Hi everyone,
I’m new to macports, and maybe I’m missing something silly, but I’ve searched a bunch and can’t find an answer to my problem..
I’m trying to install meld, which has a dependency on iso-codes

port is constantly trying to install version 3.43, even though this version is nowhere to be found in any of the mirrors.  I see many newer versions available, but when I try to specify a newer version to install, it keeps looking for the older 3.43

I’m running MacOS X El Capitan
MacPorts 2.3.4

Here’s the command I’m trying:

$ sudo port install iso-codes @3.67
--->  Computing dependencies for iso-codes
--->  Fetching distfiles for iso-codes
--->  Attempting to fetch iso-codes_3.43.orig.tar.xz from http://distfiles.macports.org/iso-codes
--->  Attempting to fetch iso-codes_3.43.orig.tar.xz from http://ykf.ca.distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/mpdistfiles/iso-codes
--->  Attempting to fetch iso-codes_3.43.orig.tar.xz from http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/iso-codes/
…

When I run with –dtv I see a 404 error code for each attempt, but I’m able to install other packages without problems, so it’s not a firewall issue.  And when I browse to one of these mirrors, I do not see a 3.43 version available, so the 404’s make perfect sense.

Also, when I run info on iso-codes, it shows the older vesion:
$ port info iso-codes
iso-codes @3.43 (devel)

What am I doing wrong here?  Or is this something that I need to report to the maintainers of iso-codes?

Run

sudo port selfupdate

to update your local portfile definitions to the latest version. As you can see here, the current version in MacPorts is 3.67:

I don't know how you ended up with an ancient portfile for iso-codes 3.43 on your system if you're new to MacPorts.
