[mirko.g@…]

I tried to install binutils universal on Leopard and I got this error:

#22345 says it also fails on 10.6.

Replying to jmr@…:

#22345 says it also fails on 10.6.

Just a note: I verified again #22345 occurs with 10.5+ and MacPorts 1.8.1...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #27630.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Disabled universal variant in r74298.

Closing given how long this ticket has been open without anyone supplying a patch (and the port has no maintainer).
