p5-xml-namespacesupport does not install

[andrei@…]

When I run

port upgrade outdated

I get this message:

--->  Computing dependencies for p5-xml-namespacesupport
--->  Staging p5-xml-namespacesupport into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-xml-namespacesupport/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1: no such file or directory

Error: Problem while installing p5-xml-namespacesupport

I had the same problem with older versions of MacPorts - for at least 6 months but never submitted a ticket since I hoped someone else will report it. It seems that many packages depend on p5-xml-namespacesupport and all these package cannot be upgraded on my Mac.

I would like to attach the file about which port complains:

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-xml-namespacesupport/main.log

but do not see how to do this from your interface. Just in case, I add the content of that file at the end of the message.

Best regards, AV

I deleted the contents of the log from your issue description since you managed to attach it as a file, and I fixed your WikiFormatting.

The relevant error in your log seems to be:

:error:destroot Target org.macports.destroot returned: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-xml-namespacesupport/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1: no such file or directory

I assume you are trying to use perl 5.10 via the perl5.10 port? That may be the problem. Most of us have probably only tested the default configuration, which is to use perl 5.8 via the perl5.8 port.

Your log starts at the destroot phase. Could you please clean and generate a complete log?

This works fine for me with perl5+perl5_10. Without a complete log and/or working steps to reproduce this is just going to end up being closed as "worksforme".
