#28570: perl5 dependency issues - seen in other tickets -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: vulcan_@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: perl5 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- i am writing this to capture the issue for review by those that know more than I about port dependencies i leave this as a defect as there is no Ticket Type of "Info Only" please refer to Tickets #28565 #28569 and #28564 for the background I see now that i should have followed ryandesign's comment more closely .. he said to deact 5.8 and then activate perl5. I wound up being able to upgrade apache2 as i wanted to .. after this forced activation of perl5. I am hoping that the version of corelist that got installed is compatible with the one that was moved aside. {{{ sh-3.2# port deactivate perl5.12 ---> Deactivating perl5.12 @5.12.3_0 ---> Unable to uninstall/deactivate perl5.12 @5.12.3_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> perl5 @5.12.3_0+perl5_12 Error: Target org.macports.deactivate returned: Please uninstall the ports that depend on perl5.12 first.
