BUG: php5 upgrade fails creating mysql symlinks if they already exist

[gjyuieavuigzs@…]

Whe upgrading from php5.1.4_3 to php5.1.6_0 I get the following error.

... ---> Extracting php-5.1.6.tar.bz2 DEBUG: setting option extract.args to /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/php5/php-5.1.6.tar.bz2 DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_www_php5/work" && /opt/local/bin/bzip2 -dc /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/php5/php-5.1.6.tar.bz2 | /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -' DEBUG: Executing proc-post-com.apple.extract-extract-0 DEBUG: Executing proc-post-com.apple.extract-extract-1 Error: Target com.apple.extract returned: could not create new link "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_www_php5/work/mysql5/lib": that path already exists Warning: the following items did not execute (for php5): com.apple.activate com.apple.extract com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build com.apple.destroot com.apple.archive com.apple.install

This sounds like port needs to be cleaned: $ sudo port clean php5 (or perhaps clean --all)

[jyrkiwahlstedt]

Clean is the thing to do (this is not php5 thing per se!).

[jkorchok@…]

Even after using "sudo port clean php5" and "sudo port clean installed", I am getting a very similar error:

sudo port upgrade installed ---> Activating php5 5.1.2_0+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5 ---> Deactivating php5 5.1.2_0+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5 ---> Fetching php5 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for php5 ---> Extracting php5 Error: Target com.apple.extract returned: could not create new link "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_www_php5/work/mysql5/lib": that path already exists

This did not happen with any of the other ports, just php5. Cleaning does _not_ solve it.

The output you copied into this bug shows php version 5.1.2 which is very old. php 5.2.0 is the current version. Please "sudo port selfupdate" to make sure you have the current version of MacPorts and also update your ports tree to include php 5.2.0.

Furthermore, "sudo port clean php5" is not sufficient. Please try "sudo port clean --all php5" and then "sudo port install php5" (with any variants desired).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Sorry, I meant to add: if you already have php5 installed, then either "sudo port uninstall php5" first, or use "sudo port upgrade php5" instead of "sudo port install php5".

[macports@…]

I can confirm that this error occurs even with the most recent version of macports and when upgrading from php 5.1.6:

Macport is up to date:

testhaufen02:~ fgilcher$ sudo port selfupdate
DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.320
The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated
selfupdate done!

The error message I get is:

testhaufen02:~ fgilcher$ sudo port upgrade php5--->  Deactivating php5 5.1.6_2+darwin_8+fastcgi+macosx+mysql5+postgresql
--->  Fetching php5

Same message when I uninstall php5 and try to reinstall:

testhaufen02:~ fgilcher$ sudo port uninstall php5
--->  Uninstalling php5 5.1.6_2+darwin_8+fastcgi+macosx+mysql5+postgresql
testhaufen02:~ fgilcher$ sudo port install php5 +fastcgi+macosx+mysql5+postgresql

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

However, uninstalling, then cleaning, then reinstalling seems to work.

The relevant messages from the debug log are:

I have the same problem when upgrading from PHP 5.1.6 to 5.2.0:

% sudo port installed php5 The following ports are currently installed:

php5 @5.1.6_2+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5 (active)

% sudo port upgrade php5 ---> Deactivating php5 5.1.6_2+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5 ---> Extracting php5 Error: Target com.apple.extract returned: could not create new link "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_www_php5/work/mysql5/lib": that path already exists

ls -ld /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_www_php5/work/mysql5/lib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 21 14 Nov 13:12 /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_www_php5/work/mysql5/lib@ -> /opt/local/lib/mysql5

I was able to workaround this problem with:

% sudo port uninstall php5 % sudo port clean php5 % sudo port install php5 +apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5

But this is surely a bug.

Sorry about the formatting (I assumed MediaWiki format, but it now different. Why do MediaWiki, MarkDown, Textile, WakaWikki and Trac all have different formattiing?!? Grrr)

[cluon@…]

Ran into the same problem. Looks like this is a problem where the upgrade is somehow prepopulating the link location for mysql5, whereas the install does not. The workaround given by software@… above worked for me as well.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I would love to add a check to the portfile so that it doesn't try to create the link if it already exists, but I do not know the syntax to do that. If someone is more familiar with TCL / Portfile syntax than me and would like to submit a patch, that would be great.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I have a feeling that r25033 will have fixed this. If you still experience the problem with MacPorts 1.4.42 or greater, please reopen the bug, or if Trac will not let you, email me and I'll do it.
