Migrating After Sonoma Install

Don’t worry. The migration went fine and, fingers crossed, everything works. However, it always amazes me how long this takes. I have only 13 ports in requested.txt. There are 148 ports in myports.txt. I get this, but I still find it amazing. On a 2019 Intel iMac, the migration started at 11:0

myports.txt vs requested.txt

I decided to compare the ports found in myports.txt with those in requested.txt. I figured that every port in requested.txt should also be in myports.txt. But, that’s not the case. Requested.txt contains only the following ports: ImageMagick clamav ffmpeg gstreamer010 gstreamer010-gst-plugins-ba

The only solution offered by the developer of DetectX was to tell DetectX to ignore changes to macports plist files. That seems to defeat the purpose of DetectX. DetectX is supposed to warn you of possible nefarious changes to your system. Choosing to ignore a possible problem is no solution.

I did my best with the bug report. I had no idea what to put in the comments section. I attached what I hope is a gzip version of the main.log. I’m a bit gun shy about creating a ticket. Last time it turned out not to be a port problem, but something to do with the command line tools; a somethi

Foiled Again

This morning I upgraded my 2019 iMac to Sequoia and then did a port migrate. I think everything went OK, except for the following: The following ports could not be restored: - nbsmtp Failed: Unable to execute target 'activate' for port nbsmtp - see its log for details When I

Foiled Again - Part 3

I am currently at a location where I only spend a few days a month. I upgraded an M1 MBA to Sequoia 15.0.1 this afternoon. I opened the App Store intending to update Xcode to the latest version. I opened the Xcode page in the App Store and expected to see a button displaying either “Update” or

Foiled Again - Part 3 Addendum

As promised: ---> Note: Migration finished with errors. The following ports could not be restored: - ImageMagick Skipped because its dependency aom failed - ffmpeg Skipped because its dependency aom failed Error: Failed to build aom: command execution failed Error

Re: Foiled Again - Part 3 Addendum

Well, I had already worked up the courage to install using the candidate dmg. Hatchet:~ mnewman$ xcode-select --install xcode-select: note: Command line tools are already installed. Use "Software Update" in System Settings or the softwareupdate command line interface to install updates I ran s

Re: Foiled Again - Part 3 Addendum

Thanks for your clear and kind response to what now seems to have been an unfair rant on my part. Clearly, I didn’t have a good understanding of what reclaim actually did. Now I get it. I should note that all of my requested ports have been successfully migrated. It wasn’t easy, but I learned

Requested Ports

After yesterday’s partially unsuccessful migration, I noticed that some ports that I had previously installed were missing after the migration, even though there was no error message during “sudo port migrate” on any of the missing ports. For example, I have several shell scripts that use “spong

Migration Errors after Sequoia

This on a 15” M2 MBA 16/512 Attempting to migrate following Sequoia installation I got the following: Migration finished with errors. The following ports could not be restored: - ImageMagick Skipped because its dependency aom failed - ffmpeg Skipped because its dep

Re: Migration Errors after Sequoia

I’m sorry, but this is way beyond my ability. I have many questions. The guide to filing a ticket says "Clean and try again” • Does “clean” mean I should run "sudo port -f clean --all all” • Does “try again” mean I should run "sudo port migrate” again, or try to install each failed port separate

Well, this is embarrassing. I was surprised that the snapshot list had two items: Fifteen:desktop mnewman$ port snapshot --list ID Created Note == 2 2024-09-22 09:34:22 snapshot created for migration 1 2024-09-22 00:22:41 sn

ffmpeg - Abort trap 6

Sorry to bother everyone again, I have a shell script that has been working fine for several years which uses ffmpeg to add audio to a video. It stopped working after migrating to the latest MacPorts. I can’t tell you the version of ffmpeg because: Sellotape:bin mnewman$ ffmpeg -version dyld[1
