Attempting to install databases/rrdtool attempts to build x11-toolkits/pango which attempts to build devel/gobject-introspection before misc/gnomehier has been installed (which, according to portmaster's output, was to be the next step in the chain): ===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed: Install databases/rrdtool Install x11-toolkits/pango Install devel/gobject-introspection Install misc/gnomehier Install print/harfbuzz Install graphics/graphite2 Install x11-fonts/encodings Install x11-fonts/bdftopcf Install x11-fonts/libXfont Install x11-fonts/fontsproto Install x11-fonts/libfontenc Install x11/xproto Install x11/xtrans Install x11-fonts/font-util Install x11-fonts/mkfontscale Install x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype Install x11-fonts/dejavu Install x11-fonts/mkfontdir Install x11-fonts/font-bh-ttf Install x11-fonts/font-misc-ethiopic Install x11-fonts/font-misc-meltho This leads to the very confusing build failure gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection/work/gobject-introspection-1.36.0' ===> Staging for gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 ===> Generating temporary packing list mtree: /usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 All commands run on ports from git at revision 2a61126 .
I'll clarify this one a bit. misc/gnomehier is runtime depend for devel/gobject-introspection. When building latter from withing portmaster runtime depends checks are skipped. If after this fail you do `cd /usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection ; make` you'll see: ===> Staging for gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 ===> gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/python2.7 - found ===> gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 depends on executable: python2 - found ===> gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 depends on file: /usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist - not found ===> Verifying install for /usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist in /usr/ports/misc/gnomehier ===> gnomehier-3.0 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found ===> Fetching all distfiles required by gnomehier-3.0 for building ===> Extracting for gnomehier-3.0 ===> Patching for gnomehier-3.0 ===> Configuring for gnomehier-3.0 ===> Staging for gnomehier-3.0 ===> Generating temporary packing list cd /tmp/ports/usr/ports/misc/gnomehier/work/gnomehier-3.0 && /usr/sbin/mtree -U -d -n -i -c -k "uname, gname, mode" | /usr/bin/sed -e 's|uname=[A-Za-z0-9_]*| uname=root|' -e 's|gname=[A-Za-z0-9_]*|gname=wheel|' > /tmp/ports/usr/ports/misc/gnomehier/work/BSD.gnome.dist cd /tmp/ports/usr/ports/misc/gnomehier/work/gnomehier-3.0 && /bin/sh -c '(/usr/bin/find -d $0 $2 | /usr/bin/cpio -dumpl $1 >/dev/null 2>&1) && /usr/sbin/chow n -Rh root:wheel $1 && /usr/bin/find -d $0 $2 -type d -exec chmod 755 $1/{} \; && /usr/bin/find -d $0 $2 -type f -exec chmod 444 $1/{} \;' -- . /tmp/ports/us r/ports/misc/gnomehier/work/stage/usr/local /bin/mkdir -p /tmp/ports/usr/ports/misc/gnomehier/work/stage/usr/local/etc/mtree install -o root -g wheel -m 444 /tmp/ports/usr/ports/misc/gnomehier/work/BSD.gnome.dist /tmp/ports/usr/ports/misc/gnomehier/work/stage/usr/local/etc/mtree ====> Compressing man pages (compress-man) ===> Installing for gnomehier-3.0 ===> Checking if misc/gnomehier already installed ===> Registering installation for gnomehier-3.0 as automatic Installing gnomehier-3.0... done ===> Returning to build of gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 ===> gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 depends on shared library: libffi.so - found (/usr/local/lib/libffi.so.6) ===> gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 depends on shared library: libintl.so - found (/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.9) ===> gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 depends on shared library: libglib-2.0.so - found (/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0) ===> gobject-introspection-1.36.0_2 depends on shared library: libpcre.so - found (/usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.3) ===> Generating temporary packing list gmake[1]: working in "/tmp/ports/usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection/work/gobject-introspection-1.36.0" gmake install-recursive ..... staging skipped .... ====> Compressing man pages (compress-man) The problem is rather in portmaster putting runtime depends lower then packages where they are referred from.
So, this issue is also solved if gobject-introspection defines gnomehier as a build dependency as it is actually used during building, isn't it? NB: I also ran into this issue.

AFAIK there does not exist a STAGING_DEPENDS. So wouldn't BUILD_DEPENDS be the best alternative in the time being to make it work?
The port misc/gnomehier does not exist anymore, so I wonder if this bug ticket is still valid.
gnomehier was removed from ports.
