MacPorts 1.6.0 mpkg build failure

[davilla@…]

MacPorts 1.6.0 installed from dmg cannot build mpkg. It will clean the destroots from depds and will result in an error as they no longer exist.

Using "-k mpkg" does not fix the problem.

To work around, one must install from tar.gz source and after the "./configure";

edit doc/macports.conf and change

portautoclean           yes

to

portautoclean           no

Then "make", "make install". This will leave the destroot directories intact and allow mpkg to complete.

Replying to ryandesign@macports.org:

Duplicate of #10881.

It might be a duplicate but it a better ticket in that is describes exactly how to work around the issue. Ticket 10881 gives vague suggestions on how to fix the issues but most of the suggestions do not work!

Thanks
