postgresql90-server fails in destroot stage chown on log file

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

I tried installing postgresql90-server on Lion with XCode 4.3.

The command I executed was:

sudo port install postgresql90-server

It fails in the destroot stage like this, trying to chown the log file:

That sounds like bug #33497, which I thought I fixed in r91171. That was pretty recent, though, so maybe you didn't have the updated version.

Can you try a sudo port selfupdate, sudo port clean postgresql90-server and retry? If that fails, please provide the main.log file.

Yes, it works now. Thank you!

Glad to hear it.
