Warning: No port [p5.24-net-libidn & p5.24-net-ssleay] found in the index; can't rebuild

[guadagn0 (DiGi)]

I just performed a fresh installation of perl as well as of other ports. Although installation seems to be completed successfully, I get recurrent warnings by the task "Scanning binaries for linking errors".

I copy here the warning messages, and report below the full installation script.

--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
--->  Found 3 broken files, matching files to ports
Warning: No port p5.24-net-libidn found in the index; can't rebuild
Warning: No port p5.24-net-ssleay found in the index; can't rebuild
--->  Broken files found, but all associated ports are not in the index and so cannot be rebuilt.

Here's the full script. I first make sure the port isn't installed. I then install it. I then clean and retry installation. I finally try and recompile from source following ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57252

Those ports were removed long ago. Whatever the issue is, it is local to your setup. Since Trac is not for tech support, follow-up on the ​Macports Users mailing list instead.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Or just uninstall the old p5.24 ports.
