I think the find command is okay. I tried running it from the command line with the trailing slash and dot and it still works. I have also tried others (like the one in /usr/gnu/bin) by using different $PATHs.I think the problem is that somewhere something is trying to resolve the find command within DESTDIR rather than in the normal $PATH. For example in this case it is trying to call/opt/local/pkgsrc/pkgsrc/devel/gobject-introspection/work/.destdir/opt/local/find. And there is no find command there. Then the resultant error is somehow making its way into the PLIST.On Sat, Apr 29, 2023 at 8:08 AM David Brownlee <abs%absd.org@localhost> wrote:On Sat, 29 Apr 2023 at 11:49, Mike Owens <mikeowens%gmail.com@localhost> wrote:

There are other packages that build successfully without this problem. So I am not sure where the culprit is. My PATH is /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin.
That looks like an error from "find". Some random (possibly not
directly helpful thoughts):
- Does Tribblix "find" output errors to stderr (does "find
/no/such/file > /dev/null" show any output)?
- Is Tribblix "find" happy with trailing / - does "find
/opt/local/bin/" show any errors?
- Are there any other (non fatal) errors or warnings referencing find
or destdir/opt/local
