"Error rebuilding $portname" terminates without grace

[mp@…]

At the end of a

sudo port -p upgrade outdated

after the ports were upgraded, rev-upgrade triggered a rebuild of a port, which subsequently failed to build.

The failure was correct, but the exit could be handled with slightly more grace.

Yeah, I wanted to get rid of this ugliness for a while now. Thanks for reminding me, r119660.

I'm still having this issue. It is not fixed. OS X 10.6.8, iMac5,1. Tried to port upgrade and it failed here.

[legend5459@…]

Sorry, didn't re-open. New here (and if I'm doing something stupid, sorry for the extra work. just trying to help).

[legend5459@…]

Crap. Wasn't reading closely. Disregard, please. I was simply having trouble with the ext2fuse port. it was already installed but refusing to upgrade because of the architecture problem. Disregard. Close again, please.

This is a change to MacPorts base and you'll have to wait until the next MacPorts release to get it. Actually, 2.3 will probably not contain this change since it has been branched already, but the release after 2.3 probably will.
