augeas @1.3.0: Base class package "NaturalDocs::Languages::Simple" is empty

[JeNeSuisPasDave (Dave Hein)]

Augeas 1.3.0 fails to build (via "port install augeas"). I get this in the build log:

The log you've attached is not from a ​clean build attempt. Please "sudo port clean augeas", then try again, then attach the new main.log to this ticket if it fails again.

augeas builds ok for me on 10.11. I'm using the perl5_16 variant of the perl5 port. Which one are you using?

Done. Attachment updated.

Sadly, I can't move to El Capitan yet ...

Doing "port installed perl5" yields:

The following ports are currently installed:
  perl5 @5.16.3_0+perl5_16 (active)

I didn't mean to suggest that upgrading to El Capitan was necessary; I just wanted to provide a datapoint that the port does install successfully on my system, which provides a place to start to see what differs between your system and mine. OS version is only one of many variables.

Doing "port installed perl5" yields:

The following ports are currently installed:
  perl5 @5.16.3_0+perl5_16 (active)

Looks like the problem is that the naturaldocs binary for Mavericks was created on our server back when perl5_12 was the default variant, and that information gets baked into the naturaldocs installation. This is the same problem described in #46515.

[JeNeSuisPasDave (Dave Hein)]

Confirmed that fixing #46515 in naturaldocs did resolve this issue. Thanks!

Note that the working versions are naturaldocs 1.52 and augeas 1.4.
