Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
Typing "sudo port upgrade outdated" gave me the error:
---> Installing python27 @2.7.3_0
Error: org.macports.install for port python27 returned: no destroot found at: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/destroot
Please see the log file for port python27 for details:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/main.log
I tried "sudo port clean python27", but got the same error. I went into the log file, as the error message suggested above & found these error lines:
:error:install org.macports.install for port python27 returned: no destroot found at: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/destroot :debug:install Error code: NONE :debug:install Backtrace: no destroot found at: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/work/
I tried to uninstall python27, but there were dependent files &/or applications, whose purpose I don't know. I abandoned uninstalling python27.
I then tried "sudo port -n upgrade --force python27", but got the same error, but with many lines of text!
Also, "which python" give Apple's python, not MacPorts: /usr/bin/python

That log was not useful at all. clean python27 and attach the new main.log if it fails.

Sorry it was not useful.
I cleaned python27 and again typed "sudo port upgrade outdated" and got the first error a few lines down:
---> Installing python27 @2.7.3_0 Error: org.macports.install for port python27 returned: @name python27-2.7.3_0 @portname python27
There were hundreds of lines after these.
I have attached the new main.log. Hopefully it is useful this time.

That log is interesting. I don't know what's causing the problem though.
Is your tar command working correctly? What's the following command output:
/usr/bin/tar --version

I've never had a problem compressing or uncompressing files, but I rarely, if ever, use the CLI to do so.
/usr/bin/tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.26
And "which tar" says that's the one I'd use.

Yeah, on Lion you should get:
% /usr/bin/tar --version bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3
We can't offer support if you have modified stuff in /usr/bin.

I understand. Thanks for finding the root cause of the problem.
I changed my Symbolic Link of usr/bin/tar from MacPorts installed gnutar to usr/bin/bsdtar (version 2.8.3), and was able to update my MacPorts (no more Python27 problems).
In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainer(s).
Please attach the entire main.log.
