p5.28-net-ssleay: failed to extract

[franzinc (franzinc)]

The following are the commands I tried. If I don't install openssl11 first, openssl gets installed via a dependency and I have to remove it and install openssl11, and I had problems with that route, so I wanted to get it installed first. Here's what I tried:

    # port -N install openssl11 +universal
    # port -N install xorg-libXt +flat_namespace +universal
    # port -N install openmotif +universal
    # port -N install gtk2 +x11 +universal
    # port -N install bash git coreutils gsed gnutar openssh
    # port -N install wget curl moreutils perl5 grep

but it resulted in

The actual failing port is p5.28-net-ssleay, and from your log, the failing command is:

/usr/bin/gzip -dc '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/perl5/Net-SSLeay-1.88.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/tar -xf -

Could you run this command manually and see what it happens?

It worked. So, I reran the last command and that succeeded. Strange.

This error notwithstanding, I still think there's a problem pointed out in the original transcript, that so many rebuilds are needed. However, I'll let you make that call.

[yan12125 (Chih-Hsuan Yen)]

Glad to see it eventually works. The build failure might be due to something unstable in MacPorts, but we can do nothing until someone finds out how to reproduce it, so I gonna to close this ticket as "worksforme". Feel free to leave a comment or open a new ticket is you encounter a similar issue again.

so many rebuilds are needed

That is a known issue, and it will be gone once ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/3822 is merged. Thanks for testing and reporting!
