Description

Deactivating a port sometimes "fails" (it says it failed, but it was successfully deactivated). When this happens, it tells me to consult a log file, but the log file doesn't exist.

This was on Yosemite, in case it matters.

This is registry::run_target failing here: https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/v2.8.1/src/port/port.tcl#L3269

Usually that means there was an error in a pre- or post-deactivate block. When running the target on the Portfile fails, the port is deactivated with a direct registry call instead (which of course doesn't run the pre- or post-deactivate blocks, which is why it isn't the preferred method.)

The lack of a log is likely due to the fact that the final step after uninstalling a port is to clean it. Enabling keeplogs may prevent this.
