Building Linkchecker fails while "Staging linkchecker into destroot" with the following Error Message:

Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: app.executable linkchecker-gui does not exist
Warning: the following items did not execute (for linkchecker): org.macports.activate org.macports.destroot org.macports.install

Since there is no separate package linkchecker-gui this one in question should supply it's own needs.

My version of macport is (not available in the dropdown ;-) :

charly@0x2A[5002]> port                                                                           ~
MacPorts 2.0.3

I attached the main.log to this ticket.

Thanks, this is actually a bug in the new app portgroup. I didn't anticipate that the executable might be a symlink to an item that had not yet been installed. I did not experience the problem myself because I had already installed a previous version of the port.

Thanks, fixed that.

Thanks you very much! The package builds and installs on my machine now. :)
