Duplicate of #29223. "sudo port clean p5.12-xml-simple" and try again. Cleaning and trying again should be the first thing you try anytime any port fails to install.
I think this is a genuine failure. I have done sudo port clean p5.12-xml-simple sudo port clean p5.12-sax-base And neither of them fixed this problem. According to the log, % sudo port install p5.12-xml-simple ---> Computing dependencies for p5.12-xml-simple ---> Dependencies to be installed: p5.12-xml-sax p5.12-xml-sax-base p5.12 -xml-sax-expat p5.12-xml-parser ---> Fetching archive for p5.12-xml-sax-base ---> Attempting to fetch p5.12-xml-sax- base-1.80.0_0.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/p5.12-xml-sax-base ---> Attempting to fetch p5.12-xml-sax- base-1.80.0_0.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2.rmd160 from http://packages.macports.org/p5.12-xml-sax-base ---> Installing p5.12-xml-sax-base @1.80.0_0 ---> Activating p5.12-xml-sax-base @1.80.0_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/man/man3/XML::SAX::Base.3pm.gz is being used by the active p5-xml-sax port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate p5.12-xml-sax-base' to force the activation. Error: Failed to install p5.12-xml-sax-base Log for p5.12-xml-sax-base is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5 -xml-sax-base/p5.12-xml-sax-base/main.log Error: The following dependencies were not installed: p5.12-xml-sax p5.12 -xml-sax-base p5.12-xml-sax-expat p5.12-xml-parser Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. First of all, "deactivate" doesn't work, because this port is not "active" yet. Second, it was suggested that I "force" activation; however, won't "force" an activation make things even worst? Please advice. Thanks a lot. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33582#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
