When I run the command sudo port upgrade outdated on my os x (lion) system, I get the following output.
---> Computing dependencies for gettext
---> Dependencies to be installed: ncurses
---> Activating ncurses #5.9_1
Error: org.macports.activate for port ncurses returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/captoinfo is being used by the active ncursesw port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate ncurses' to force the activation.
Error: Failed to install ncurses
Please see the log file for port ncurses for details:

Error: The following dependencies were not installed: ncurses
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

What should I do the be able to update? I have tried to force the activation but it did not work.
Just had something similar myself - not sure if it's related. See this (source):
ncursesw was replaced by ncurses a long time ago. You must not have updated this MacPorts installation in
over a year; if you had upgraded sooner, this should have been handled more automatically for you but we've
already removed those upgrade paths since it was so long ago and we thought everybody would have upgraded
by now. You can just force ncursesw to uninstall since it's no longer needed:
sudo port -f uninstall ncursesw
also be sure to run
sudo port selfupdate
beforehand. That may have caused my issue - installing macports doesn't bring the latest package tree with it.

In my current workplace we are using MariaDB version 10.5.9 for our DB's and we are trying to reinstall this version for testing purposes on a separate container. However, seems anything from 10.5.9 below is failing with the follow error;
root#mdb-10-5:~# curl -LsS https://r.mariadb.com/downloads/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash -s -- --mariadb-server-version=mariadb-10.5.9
# [info] Checking for script prerequisites.
# [warning] Found existing file at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mariadb.list. Moving to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mariadb.list.old_5
# [error] MariaDB Server version 10.5.9 is not working.
# Please verify that the version is correct.
#
# The latest MariaDB Server versions are:
# 10.10.1 10.3.36 10.4.26 10.5.17 10.6.10 10.7.6 10.8.5 10.9.3
#
# More information on MariaDB releases is available at:
# https://mariadb.com/kb/en/release-notes/
When I try the same command with version 10.5.10, it works and downloads successfully.
I am using the following procedure, one of which is the MariaDB KB:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-package-repository-setup-and-usage/
https://www.dbi-services.com/blog/how-to-install-a-specific-version-of-mariadb/
Both guides use the same repo, and it is also the only thing that I have found specific when I search for information to install this particular version or MariaDB.
Can anyone offer any suggestions or have experienced similar problems?
We (MariaDB corporation) recently moved over our repositories to a content delivery network instead of using our own servers only. Unfortunately the new service does not have a full archive of older releases yet, the oldest 10.5 we have on there for example is 10.5.10.
I have filed an internal bug report / feature request about that already, but it is still pending.
Meanwhile you can "fix" this by first running the repo setup script with a supported version like 10.5.10, and then editing the repository file it created, replacing the version number with 10.5.9, and the host name dlm.mariadb.com with download.mariadb.com.
On Debian and Ubuntu the repository file would be /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mariadb.list, and you'd have to run apt-get update afterwards to pick up the repo change before installing packages.
On RHEL, CentOS, Rocky etc. the file is /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo and no further action is needed before installing actual packages.
I've been trying to install MacPorts on a new Mac Pro with a fresh, fully updated Yosemite OS. The installer hangs on 'Running package scripts'. So I tried to build it from source. That works, with the installer stating:
Congratulations, you have successfully installed the MacPorts system.
However, it seems unusable. When I do sudo port install apache2 I get the message:
Error: Port apache2 not found
Simply trying to do a 'self update' (as root):
sh-3.2# port -d selfupdate
DEBUG: MacPorts sources location: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs
---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
receiving file list ... done
base.tar
...and then nothing... I've waited for half an hour, but it won't go any further. I can't find any logs either.
Again: there's nothing special about my setup, it's out-of-the-box Yosemite, only updated through the App store and, of course, I've installed Xcode with command line utilities and formally accepted the license, as is required according to the MacPorts site.
I've also tried uninstalling it, using the instructions from the MacPorts site, and reinstalling. But it does not make a difference.
I've read quite a few forum posts, but I can't find any post relating a problem like this. I hope someone can shed some light on this.
The installer hangs running package scripts because the last statement in these package scripts is exactly this "sudo port selfupdate" that you've been running manually afterwards.
Because this step did never run, your MacPorts installation lacks knowledge about the apache2 port (which is exactly why the installer runs selfupdate to give you a full-featured installation).
Unfortunately Apple's infrastructure (rsync.macports.org) seems to have connectivity problems at the moment, which is causing problems for quite a few people. You can try using one of the mirrors as outlined at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirrors.
I have trouble installing PHP, MySQL and Apache2 using MacPorts. Currently my OS is Mavericks and i'm downloading the official binary package for mavericks (also tried compile from source and running selfupdate) but I got this error message:
---> Building readline
Error: org.macports.build for port readline returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install readline
Please see the log file for port readline for details:

http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port php5 failed
How can I solve this?
Thanks
Can you please check the error message block within the log file:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_readline/readline/main.log
Also make sure xcode command line tools are installed.
FYI: I faced similar error in Mavericks. My case was:
opt is a different partition which is mounted in /Volumes/opt
/opt is a symbolic link to /Volumes/opt.
It has been solved after editing /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf by replacing /opt with /Volumes/opt. Note sure this can help your case.

I am trying to update mac port to install qt.

sudo gem install capybara-webkit -v '0.7.2'(error in setting up native environment)
You need to use the -d option to get enough information to diagnose this; but take a look at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#selfupdatefails for common problems and solutions.
Seems Apple no longer installs Xcode's command line tools. See here: http://ericwilson.erics.ws/ericsblog/2012/8/26/macports-port-selfupdate-fail for solution.
Just wanted to add that on Mac OS 10.12 Sierra i was getting the WARNING: GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is not defined error on selfupdate and i did already have the Xcode command line tools installed, licensed and working. But my copy of Xcode had become out of date, even though that was not showing up on the automatic software updates.
I had version 7 and for Sierra (and macports) you need version 8.
So I manually downloaded Xcode 8 via the App Store and it solved the problem for me.
I'm trying to run the build script from HTML5 Boilerplate and I have to install YUM for that. I am on Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I did sudo port install yum, i'm getting the following error. Any idea how can I rectify it and install yum properly?

Previously after installing YUM, i was getting Segmentation Fault, so I uninstalled and installed it again using Macports to get the above error.
I think you've got the wrong end of the stick here. You do not need to install YUM on the Mac. In fact, that act is sheer madness, because you already have a perfectly good package manager in the shape of MacPorts!
Read again what it says
If you're on Mac or Linux...
You've got all your dependencies pre-installed, likely. You may need a yum install ant-contrib or what have you.
The key bit there is "or what have you". That is a cryptic way of saying "or the equivalent command for your package manager". On Red Hat-based systems, the package manager is indeed YUM; on Debian systems, it's APT; on the Mac, it's MacPorts.
So, remove your YUM installation, and simply do:
port install ant-contrib
You can now proceed to actually running Ant.
