Problems With Mysql57

There isn't any special error handling code to deal with the case that a symlink can't be created; if that happens, an error will occur and MacPorts will exit. Any symlinks that were already successfully created will remain on disk. This would leave you with an incomplete or possibly even inconsistent set of symlinks.

Until it's fixed, this bash script ought to fix this issue :

#!<prefix>/bin/bash

# this goes through alle the installed mysql versions
# and removes all links
while read -u 9 portName isActive
do
    while read -u 8 fileName
    do
        link=$( echo "${fileName}" \
              | sed -E -e 's/lib\///' -e "s/${portName}\///" )
        [[ -L "${link}" ]] && rm "${link}"
    done 8< <( port contents ${portName} )
done 9< \
    <(    port -q select --list mysql \
        | grep -v -F 'none' )

# this creates the links for a mysql version given in ${1}
while read -u 8 fileName
do
    link=$( echo "${fileName}" \
          | sed -E -e 's/lib\///' -e "s/${portName}\///" )
    ln -s "${fileName}" "${link}"
done 8< <( port contents ${1} )
