#20697: "port list" shows the latest version of a package as the version for all installed instances ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: n2185x@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Port in the "list" command shows only the latest version (possibly the latest installed version, if the latest repository version is different) of any given package as the version associated with all installed instances of that package. See the below transcript for proof: {{{ root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# ls /opt/local/var/macports/software/openssl/ 0.9.8g_0 0.9.8k_0 root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# port list inactive | grep openssl openssl @0.9.8k devel/openssl root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# port list active | grep openssl openssl @0.9.8k devel/openssl root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# port deactivate openssl ---> Deactivating openssl root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# port activate openssl@0.9.8g_0 ---> Activating openssl @0.9.8g_0 root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# port list inactive | grep openssl openssl @0.9.8k devel/openssl root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# port list active | grep openssl openssl @0.9.8k devel/openssl root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# port list installed | grep openssl openssl @0.9.8k devel/openssl openssl @0.9.8k devel/openssl root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# }}} This is with the (as of now) latest version of port available via selfupdate: {{{ root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# port selfupdate MacPorts base version 1.710 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.710 The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated root@kevin-browns-macbook:~# }}} Needless to say, this defect makes it much more difficult to manage active versus inactive ports. Please fix it, or tell me how I can figure out why it's busted on my system. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20697> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
