This port was supposed to be marked as obsolete in [a89ef1aa3fc3268623a54b7f52aa2f7fa879c336/macports-ports], but that doesn't seem to have worked very well since it doesn't indicate that anywhere in the description or message when you try to install it.

This seems to be a problem with the obsolete PortGroup. I did nothing different in marking the port obsolete than I have done in the past.

comment:3 Changed 20 months ago by jmroot (Joshua Root)

It could be an interaction with the octave portgroup. But on the other hand, why not just delete the port if it is obsolete and there is no replacement?

comment:4 Changed 20 months ago by Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)

The octave PG could well be at fault with the recent move to the octave category. I'll have a look.

comment:5 Changed 20 months ago by Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)

The problem seems to only occur when trying to upgrade an existing install. On my build machine I had previously uninstalled octave-specfun, and I get

% sudo port -v install octave-specfun
octave-specfun is known to fail. Try to install anyway? [y/N]: y

Package obsoleted. Error should have no incidence on the operation of Octave, except confusing ppl. who have the package installed and try to upgrade.

Probable reason why I had this package was a confusion between Octave's core 'Special functions' (bessel etc) and package specfun which are different things under a same name. It may be the case that I never used the package. I was not able to check if specfun functions have been migrated to another place. However that's an upstream concern.

User-side fix pretty straightforward : Uninstall octave-specfun.
