lftp conflict with libprelude over /opt/local/lib/charset.alias

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

When trying to install lftp, i see the following activation error:

--->  Activating lftp @3.7.3_0+darwin_9
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/lib/charset.alias is being used by the active libprelude port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I believe that charset.alias file should not be created there for either port. Perhaps the maintainers of both ports (CC'ed) can fix this?

Looks like lftp explicitly installs charset.alias via lib/Makefile. It only appears to add lftp as one of the packages using that file (in a comment section), however, so it probably isn't a necessity to install the file.

No port should install ${prefix}/lib/charset.alias. The following ports all go to some length to delete this file. lftp and libprelude should take similar steps.

If it's that common, perhaps it should be handled like ${prefix}/share/info/dir is: ​deleted in base during destroot?

[usx303@…]

I'm going to fix it in libprelude according to Ryan's examples.

Portfile patch

[usx303@…]

Added a patch for libprelude to fix cleaning "charset.alias"
But I'm not sure if it's necessary to increase revision?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Committed revision r38798. Thanks! I did update the revision.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I created a new ticket for fixing lftp. #16152.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

lftp is fixed in r39163 and r39164.
