Hi again, >>>>> rm: /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library: Operation not permitted >>>>> rm: /opt/local/var/macports/home: Operation not permitted
Both lines are very suspect. When I ls what’s inside the first directory Air > ll /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Preferences/ total 616 -rw-r--r-- 1 macports admin 314139 7 Nov 18:33 com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist This looks to me very much like a hardlink or a protected file. Air > ls -lORa /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Preferences/ total 616 drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin - 96 8 Nov 14:53 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin - 96 25 Oct 2016 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 macports admin - 314139 7 Nov 18:33 com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist But that doesn’t mean anything in my case, since I have disabled SIP for files (yes, I got rid of several dumb apps such as Chess or Stocks, I only have a 128 MB SSD). > No hard links that I spotted (but would that not fail under 10.13? the > same code runs fine). The only differences between what fails and > what works are 10.14 vs 10.13 and older, and [sound effect: penny > dropping] APFS vs HFS+ journaled. If there's some protection going SIP protection might have been extended to newer files between 10.13 and 10.14. Vincent
