BUG: mysql5 fails to install

[paul@…]

During a "port -v install mysql5", the error at the bottom of this message is returned. I am running the latest cvs copy of darwinports and the dports repository. This occurred on both hosts that I tried.

Making install in server-tools Making install in instance-manager

1. It is considered a very bad idea to use /usr/local as prefix for DarwinPorts and is especially

harmful, if you install other 3rd party software that will then clash with installed ports

2. could you provide me with a full log of the error? ("port destroot mysql5 -vd > logfile.txt 2>&1")

Perhaps /usr/local isn't an ideal location to install, but it still should work :-)

replaced the choking "file delete.." with a system "rm -rf .."
