Lack of contents listing of the ethereal port by the port(1) utility

Description

The current install of the ethereal port fails to list its contents through the port(1) utility:

$[juan@PowerBook: darwinports](165/0,0)-> port contents ethereal Contents of ethereal-0.9.14

of

$[juan@PowerBook: darwinports](166/0,0)->

This contrasts with the behavior of other ports, for instance:

$[juan@PowerBook: darwinports](166/0,0)-> port contents nmap Contents of nmap-3.48

/opt/local/bin/nmap /opt/local/share/man/man1/nmap.1 /opt/local/share/nmap /opt/local/share/nmap/nmap-os-fingerprints /opt/local/share/nmap/nmap-protocols /opt/local/share/nmap/nmap-rpc /opt/local/share/nmap/nmap-service-probes /opt/local/share/nmap/nmap-services

$[juan@PowerBook: darwinports](167/0,0)->

Both ports live in a Mac OS X 10.3.1 system and are the current versions freshly checked out from CVS . However, the ethereal portfile was modified locally to allow a non-X11 build variant, with the adequate removal of the gtk2 library dependency. So, for completeness sake, the Portfile off which the ethereal port was built follows (my diff knowledge is limited!!):

comment:2 Changed 21 years ago by opendarwin.org@…

When doing "port contents", the 'port' command does a simple lsearch for "contents" in the receipt file. If the dport has the word 'contents' in something else that ends up in the receipt file (such as the descriptions), 'port' finds that as the keyword 'contents' rather than the "real" one later in the file. A better pattern match is needed, perhaps "contents" or "contents {{" with associated logic- reworking for the indexing.

Patch attached to bug #1253 removes the 'content' word from the description, resulting in a fix for ethereal, i.e. fixing the symptoms but not the cause.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Fix for port.tcl taken, which fixes the essential problem here so no changes to ethereal are necessary.
