Description
When sourcing CONF_FILE (in this case ~/.profile) with source ~/.profile, my PATH variable expands indefinitely, since there is no check if BINPATH is already in PATH ( https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/portmgr/dmg/postflight.in#L243 ).
My ~/.profile looks like this:
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2015-01-17_at_00:00:40: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts. export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH" # Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.
The solution is to check in https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/portmgr/dmg/postflight.in#L103 if BINPATH (Part of ${2}) is already in PATH (\$ + ${1}). If so, do not export it again.
I fixed it in my ~/.profile with this modification (bash):
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2015-01-17_at_00:00:40: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts. [[ ! "$PATH" =~ "/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin" ]] && export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH" # Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.
