#49684: python27: activation fails, IDLE.app already exists and does not belong to a registered port -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: xerix@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: python27 | -----------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: If this file already existed on your system and prevented the activation of the python27 port, then it's possible you have other files on your system that will prevent the activation of other ports in the future—or worse, cause build failures or incorrect builds. If you cannot explain how these files got there, it's best to [https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html uninstall MacPorts], including deleting the directories mentioned in those instructions, then reinstall MacPorts and the ports you want. That way you can be sure there are no files that shouldn't be there. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49684#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
