gtk-doc: gtkdoc-rebase: /opt/local/bin/python3.6: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.6.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: gtk-doc

Description

After upgrading XCode on my Mojave (MacOS 10.14.6) machine, I tried a clean reinstall of some ports, including libxml2. This now fails because it's specifically looking for Python 3.6 --- I have 2.7 and 3.7.

Attaching failed installation logfile.

In the future, please add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers harfbuzz), if any.

Which port provides /opt/local/bin/gtkdoc-rebase?

comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by physicsbeany

@jmroot: Aha!

It looks like gtkdoc-rebase is provided by the port "gtk-doc". My installed + active version of that port is "gtk-doc @1.32_0+python36" ... though why it's there when I have no memory of using Python 3.6 I don't know. Presumably I had 3.6 briefly, and installed gtk-doc around then.

Anyway, I just replaced my gtk-doc with the python37 variant, and now the rest of the installation proceeds OK. Which means this ticket can be closed. Sorry for the false alarm.

I don't understand how you arrived at this problem:

:info:destroot /bin/sh: /opt/local/bin/gtkdoc-rebase: /opt/local/bin/python3.6: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

If gtk-doc was installed with the python36 variant, it should have had a library dependency on the python36 port which should have ensured that the python3.6 program was there when gtkdoc-rebase needed it.

The only explanation I can come up with is if you had forcibly uninstalled python36 despite the dependency. Did you?

@ryandesign: I didn't think so, but it's possible. I've taken drastic action to try to resolve other dependencies in the past, and not all of these have been 100% clean uninstalls.

Related: does MacPorts retain a human-readable log of all port installation/upgrade/uninstallation requests?

Take over Dave's tickets for GTK and friends, now that he's formally dropped maintainership. Boo! ;-)
