[BUG] lesspipe doesn't activate correctly but gets installed

[canela@…]

--->  Activating lesspipe 1.52_1
Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/code2color already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port lesspipe.

Warning: the following items did not execute (for lesspipe): com.apple.activate
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing

after this procedure lesspipe.sh is correctly installed but macports consider it inactive.

Someone solved this bug, now lesspipe installation is straight.
Who can close this ticket? Who should do this?

You should be able to do it by selecting 'resolved - fixed' and clicking 'submit changes'. But I'll close it.

Bug still seems to happen:

ax@arya:~/bin$ sudo port -vcu install lesspipe

This is on a pretty much brand-new macports install.

The problem is that lesspipe appears to be installing these files during the build phase. Running the install with the -t switch gives the following:

I've CCed the maintainer on this ticket, hopefully he'll fix this issue.

Actually, we don't have to build anything. The following patch should therefore solve the problem:

This looks better:

Ok, r26239 fixes this now.
