stack: too broken to do anything

[ShadSterling (Shad Sterling)]

port info stack, port clean stack, port variants stack, and port install stack have the same output:

Error: Unable to open port: can't read "configure.env": can't read "haskell_stack.env": can't read "haskell_stack.yaml": can't read "worksrcpath": can't read "worksrcdir": can't read "distname": can't read "name": no such variable

Since these commands work as expected with other ports I suspect the problem is with the port, but it seems pretty amazing that info doesn't work

this looks like a dup of #63076, and should be fixed by ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/4d0ef085ac02125699c90ce0388105ecc2dec978

In #63076 the output includes ---> Computing dependencies for pandoc, why doesn't the output here include ---> Computing dependencies for stack?

After a selfupdate the problem does seem to be resolved.

[kencu (Ken)]

because that person was installing pandoc, and you're installing stack.

but same issue.

[kencu (Ken)]

I think. esp if gone now.

[ShadSterling (Shad Sterling)]

After the fix, installing stack starts with ---> Computing dependencies for stack; before the fix, attempting to install stack went straight to the error message. That's a difference that looks like it comes before the fix, because before the fix the Computing dependencies message was output in #63076 but not here.

Please reopen this ticket if you find that stack will not install or work for you, with a new log, and we'll work through it.

ie. I think it's fixed, but I'm not going to stake my life on it, and if you find it is still broken somehow, open 'er back up and we'll see what is going on.
