aspell-0.60.5 failing to install at Staging aspell into destroot

[nightflame@…]

aspell is a dependency for kdebase3 and is failing to install. The failure message is below:

--->  Staging aspell into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command "install-info /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_aspell/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/aspell.info /opt/local/share/info/dir" returned error 1
Command output: install-info: No such file or directory for /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_aspell/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/aspell.info

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: kdelibs3 aspell bzip2
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I have attempted to run 'port clean --all aspell' and re-run 'port install aspell' and it returns to the same error. Looking at the directory structure it is erroring out on, the directories all exist, but there appears to be no files in those directories.

This is on a Leapord Mac, 10.5.2.

I was able to work-around this problem by doing a system search for the file required and putting it into the correct directory. The final solution was to put aspell.info and aspell-dev.info into the directory listed in the failure, run 'port uninstall aspell' then 'port install -f aspell'

The installer will complain about files already existing during the Activation phase, but it will complete and register as installed. It also appears to function properly.

What install-info is this?

which install-info

Does the latest version of aspell, which directly depends on texinfo and uses its install-info work?

[lists@…]

jay@Singularity~$ which install-info /opt/local/bin/install-info jay@Singularity~$

Even symlinking the other install-info in place of that one didn't appear to work; same error.

Does this file exist on your machine?

opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_aspell/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/aspell.info

Please do an port clean and then attach the output of

sudo port -dv install aspell

to the ticket.

[lists@…]

Debug output of aspell compilation.

[lists@…]

It does not exist. Debug output attached.

Thanks, I could reproduce that scenario, should be fixed in r34821
