Macports 0.28.1 Fixes and Start Stop app

Post by sfatula »

So, I have upgraded to 0.28.1 via Macports standard port upgrade, and, I have a problem. Running any of the MacPorts apps from the Finder (Myth_Stop_Start, MythFrontend) yields a permission denied error in the system log, and, a message in the Mac GUI of The application "Myth_Stop_Start.app" can't be opened. Indeed, using terminal windows, I can see that the Info.plist file points to applet in the MacOS dir, and, applet does not have execute permissions. I would think it would need it, and in fact adding it allows it to run. I did a port selfupdate today to get the latest ports.

Code: Select all

Apr 11 14:45:19 Steves-iMac com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.xpc.launchd.oneshot.0x10000022.applet[60177]): Could not find and/or execute program specified by service: 13: Permission denied: /Applications/MacPorts/MythTV/Myth_Stop_Start.app/Contents/MacOS/applet
Within the dir /Applications/MacPorts/MythTV/Myth_Stop_Start.app/Contents/MacOS we see the following and note the date:

Code: Select all

bash-3.2# ls -l
total 56
-rw-r--r--+ 1 root  admin  25028 Oct 29 01:40 applet
One level up (cd ..)

Code: Select all

bash-3.2# ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r--+ 1 root  admin  796 Apr 11 13:39 Info.plist
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  admin  102 Apr 11 13:48 MacOS
-rw-r--r--+ 1 root  admin    8 Apr 11 13:39 PkgInfo
drwxr-xr-x  5 root  admin  170 Apr 11 13:48 Resources
Have any idea why this would be messed up?

Haven't seen this one before.

Could you please re-run the installer but DON"T QUIT at the end. You will be able to view and save the installer log file. Please upload a copy here.

Don't have the time right now sadly, if anyone else has the problem, they can post here the details. Leaving the country for a while! I simply changed the permissions on all of the applet's.
