BUG: can't upgrade curl (tries to activate the current version!)

[vincent-opdarw@…]

prunille:~> port installed curl

curl 7.14.0_0+ipv6 curl 7.14.1_0+ipv6 curl 7.15.0_0+darwin_8 curl 7.15.0_0+darwin_8+ipv6 (active)

"port outdated" gives in particular:

curl 7.15.0_0 < 7.15.1_0

but "sudo port -d upgrade curl" gives the following error:

DEBUG: Found port in ​file:///opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports/net/curl ---> Activating curl 7.15.0_0+darwin_8+ipv6 DEBUG: Image error: curl 7.15.0_0+darwin_8+ipv6 is already active.

while executing

"portimage::activate $portname $version_installed$variant" Error: Activating curl 7.15.0_0 failed: Image error: curl 7.15.0_0+darwin_8+ipv6 is already active.

This is more likely a base/ problem.

Vincent,

is this with 1.02?

[vincent-opdarw@…]

This is with 1.102.

This is with 1.102.

bugger. works for me with 1.200

[vincent-opdarw@…]

I've just upgrade to 1.200 and I have the same problem.

[yeled@…]

I see this.

After uninstalling the 3 old curl versions, I could upgrade curl.

[yeled@…]

it has something to do with renaming variables and therefore not running portimage::deactivate

set version_installed $version - perhaps?

darwinports.tcl: line 1526 or so....

If anyone else wants to have a crack at this..

Vincent, if you still have the four old curl packages somewhere around I would like you to do something for me, please, to rule out (or not) the upgrade procedure as the culprit:

-) uninstall (and clean) the newest curl; -) install the four old ones and keep active the newest of those (curl 7.15.0_0+darwin_8+ipv6); -) run por outdated to confirm the newest curl in the repo; -) deactivate curl 7.15.0_0+darwin_8+ipv6 manually; -) install the newest one manually with the same varianst as the recently deactivated one (you'll have to add them manually too).

This should be the same test case as the one you orginally dealt with, with the small difference that we're short circuiting the upgrade prodecure and doing it manually. If this succeeds, then we know where the bug is (upgrade); if not, then we can look elsewhere (like Charlie's suggestion).

I'd appreciate it if you could help us with this, Vincent. Regards,

I have the following archives:

/opt/local/var/db/dports/packages/darwin/powerpc/curl-7.14.0_0+ipv6.powerpc.tgz /opt/local/var/db/dports/packages/darwin/powerpc/curl-7.14.0_0.powerpc.tgz /opt/local/var/db/dports/packages/darwin/powerpc/curl-7.14.1_0+ipv6.powerpc.tgz /opt/local/var/db/dports/packages/darwin/powerpc/curl-7.15.0_0+darwin_8+ipv6.powerpc.tgz /opt/local/var/db/dports/packages/darwin/powerpc/curl-7.15.0_0+darwin_8.powerpc.tgz

but I don't know to install them.

"sudo port -b -v install curl @7.14.0_0+ipv6" tries to fetch curl 7.15.1.

Hi Vincent! I don't seem to remember either how to install from already existing archives if the version/ revision in the Portfile/PortIndex is newer, so my recommendation is this:

-) cd $(port dir curl | tr "\r" "\n") (the "tr" part is because for some reason tcl's "puts" echos \r as a newline character on my system, instead of \n; you might not need that); -) edit the Portfile therein to reflect the version/revision you want to install; -) issue "port install +variant1 +variant2 +etc...", explicitly omitting the portname, in order to force dp to look at the current pwd for a Portfile rather than searching the index.

Following that recipe you should be able to install from any of the binary archives you already have and continue with the testings I requested. Thanks!

Is this still reproducible?

[vincent-opdarw@…]

I think I had no such problems in the latest upgrades, and I didn't have the time to reproduce it with old binaries (and my Power Mac is still being repaired).

Okay thanks. I'll close it. It can be reopened if necessary.
