py-poppler-qt5 @21.3.0: only installs documentation and examples

[perojonsson (Per Jonsson)]

Trying to install py310-poppler-qt5 on a MacBook Air M2 recently updated to MacOS Sonoma, the port only installs the following (output of port contents py310-poppler-qt5):

  /opt/local/share/doc/py310-poppler-qt5/ChangeLog
  /opt/local/share/doc/py310-poppler-qt5/LICENSE
  /opt/local/share/doc/py310-poppler-qt5/README.rst
  /opt/local/share/examples/py310-poppler-qt5/demo.py
  /opt/local/share/examples/py310-poppler-qt5/merge-annotations.py

Trying to run the demo.py with the python3.10 from MacPorts results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/local/share/examples/py310-poppler-qt5/demo.py", line 3, in <module>
    import popplerqt5
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'popplerqt5'

Looking at ​https://ports.macports.org/port/py310-poppler-qt5/details/ port Health for older targets, approx 25 additional files was installed under /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/. For Sonoma x86_64 the same number of files I see are listed.

Error was found when investigating why freescobaldi reported that it could not load poppler-qt5.

This also affects all OS versions of py311-poppler-qt5.

This looks like the same problem as comment:ticket:68643:9.

[perojonsson (Per Jonsson)]

After investigation: Yes, it is the same problem.

Have submitted pull-request for this: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/21523
