pkg/mpkg/dmg fails on Mac OSX 10.5

[tim.rettke@…]

I downloaded and installed Mac Ports on my Laptop. Then I proceeded to do a "/opt/local/bin/port install gtk2" which installed GTK2 and all the dependencies just fine. After this I wanted to build an installer so this compiled working version of GTK2 could be installed on other PCs.

However, this is where it failed for me. After issuing either:

/opt/local/bin/port pkg gtk2 OR /opt/local/bin/port mpkg it fails complaining that "destroot" directory does not exist. Example:

--->  Creating pkg for gtk2-2.16.4

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

To fix this I had to manually create the "destroot" directory and then it all worked as expected. Am I missing something here?

Actually, if "autocleanup" is set to "no" in macports.conf then this issue does not occur.

User error, but still it is not clear from the error message what is going on.

Dup of #10881 (fixed for the next MacPorts release).
