It's a forward of downstream `nixpkgs` report at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/300797#issuecomment-2056982667 where `nixpkgs` trod to update `man-pages` from `6.05.01` to `6.7`. There `make install` started failing on Darwin as: $ make install prefix=$(pwd)/__i__ INSTALL /Users/test/man-pages/__i__/share/man/man1/ INSTALL /Users/test/man-pages/__i__/share/man/man1/intro.1 install: skipping file '/dev/stdin', as it was replaced while being copied make: *** [share/mk/install/man.mk:60: /Users/test/man-pages/__i__/share/man/man1/intro.1] Error 1 `git bisect` landed on this change: $ git bisect bad 30c38a8bf8ae8f4a6e71d3b8ac4abf0a40778f1e is the first bad commit commit 30c38a8bf8ae8f4a6e71d3b8ac4abf0a40778f1e Author: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org> Date: Mon Aug 28 01:21:45 2023 +0200 *.mk: Pipe to install(1) Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org> share/mk/dist.mk | 7 ++++--- share/mk/install/man.mk | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) The system is: x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0.
This seems to be the difference between two systems on coreutils-9.4 where `install` comes from on my systems: Linux (works): $ mkdir -p foo; echo 42 | install -m 644 -T /dev/stdin ./foo/a; echo $? 0 Darwin (fails): $ mkdir -p foo; echo 42 | install -m 644 -T /dev/stdin ./foo/a; echo $? install: skipping file '/dev/stdin', as it was replaced while being copied 1
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/?id=9524f0f63badd896ccf6da7d79511100d86c4721 fixes it for me.
Thanks for reminding me that I should close this! :-) Have a lovely day! Alex
