#20042: texlive_base @2007_7 fails to build xdv2pdf, hamstringing xelatex ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: stephen@… | Owner: dports@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: texlive_base | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by dports@…): Replying to [comment:4 stephen@…]:
There was a minor glitch in the "upgrade -u" however, texlive_base did not get uninstalled "because texlive depends on it", which prevented texlive_texmf-{minimal,full} from uninstalling. With disk sizes these days I guess that's not a major problem, but it's a lot of MB that "upgrade -u" is supposed to help save. This would seem to be a port bug.
I ran into this once too and it does sound like a possible bug in base. Filed a new ticket #25355 about it. In the meantime, `port -f uninstall texlive_base texlive_texmf-minimal texlive_texmf-full` should get rid of the old ports (which are not needed for TL 2009) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20042#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
