[graphics/gegl] Can't create package

F

fonz

Trying to create a package for graphics/gegl (I don't need it directly but it's a dependency for e.g. graphics/gimp) fails as follows (with a few lines of context):
Code: 
===>   Running ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/gegl-0.1
===>   Installing ldconfig configuration file
===>   Registering installation for gegl-0.1.8_6

===>>> Creating a package for new version gegl-0.1.8_6
tar: share/gtk-doc/html/gegl/api.html: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256

===>>> Package creation of gegl-0.1.8_6 failed
===>>> Aborting update

Terminated

===>>> You can restart from the point of failure with this command line:
       portmaster <flags> graphics/gegl
Any thoughts? The ports tree is up-to-date and there's nothing about graphics/gegl in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
 
There's a file listed in the pkg-plist that no longer exists which causes 'pkg_create -b' to fail. You can pass the -B flag to portmaster(8) to avoid backup package creation.

Unfortunately, that appears not to be it (I did try). Portmaster fails when creating the new package (I run portmaster in a jail, using the -g flag to create packages that I then install on the host system).

pkg_create -h -z -b /var/db/pkg/... has sometimes worked when the other would not.

Unfortunately in this case it resulted in the same error message, but I think it's worth remembering. Thanks.
 
Just a suggestion for save you to wait port maintainer's revision, you can correct pkg-list using genplist(1) and set right location for {DOCSDIR} variable.

EDIT

After checking Portsmon report: no novelty.

PS. Modifying pkg-plist should work.
 
Can you show output new pkg-plist?

# diff -u pkg-plist.orig pkg-plist > pkg-plist.diff

I think that the port's maintainer did changes manually ;)
