Hi Michael

My name is Gerald and I'm a paperless user since many years.
Currently my instance runs with docker on an old Qnap-NAS, but I want
to move it to my new FreeBSD based home server in a jail. So thank
you for making paperless-ngx available for FreeBSD. The installation
with pkg wasn't a problem, I could upload some pdfs into the new
paperless and work with them and export them normally. To transfer my documents I used document_exporter on the old instance 2.16.3 and
tried to import them with document_importer on the new instance,
where I ran into this error:

root@paperless:~ # su -l paperless
$ paperless document_importer /tmp/paperless_216_20250920

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

fixture '/tmp/paperless_216_20250920/manifest.jsonrCy:

After some investigation I found out, that in the db of the FreeBSD
variant of paperless the field remote_port is missing in the table
logentry. Which lead me to the command 'paperless showmigrations', so
that I could compare the migrations of my two instances. The only
difference I found were this two migrations:

auditlog
...
[X] 0016_logentry_remote_port
[X] 0017_add_actor_email

Looking
into https://github.com/jazzband/django-auditlog/tree/v3.1.0/auditlog/migrations shows, that this two migrations were introduced with version 3.1.0 of django-auditlog, but the port of paperless 2.16 is using version 3.0.0 of it.

A first very, very naive try to solve this, was to install pip via
pkg, removing py311-dj51-django-auditlog via pkg and installing django-auditlog via pip. Result: import works, paperless itself
works, but export crashes, which I use to backup the documents.

My second attempt was to use the port collection. Here what I tried:
- installed ports collection into jail
- adapted Makefile and distinfo in
/usr/ports/www/py-dj51-django-auditlog with some help from claude
code (sorry, never touched a port before)
- pkg remove -f py311-dj51-django-auditlog
- make install
- pkg check -d -> Checking all packages: 100%
- restart paperless jail
- import of documents works
- paperless itself works, so far I could test it
- export of documents works

Could you please have a look into the problem?
Please find the diff file for the port attached to this email.

Hi Gerald,
Thanks for reaching out. I never hit this problem myself (probably due
to not importing documents recently, but only adding scanned documents
over scanner/consumer).
As it turns out, django-auditlog changed the spelling of their release artifacts on pypi from django-auditlog to django_auditlog, therefore
portscout didn't pick up the new version.
I'll address the issue soon.
Cheers
Michael
