#34959: dbus: org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: JimBenes@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.1 Keywords: | Port: dbus --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by JimBenes@…): Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
Why does that file already exist and not belong to a port? Did you have this port installed before, then incompletely uninstall it and/or MacPorts, then try to install it again? Remove the offending file, or use the "-f" flag, like the error message tells you to do, which will rename the offending file for you.
Ans: Port installed before under OS X 10.5. Thought I completely uninstalled both wine & MacPorts using MacPorts users guide (uninstalling wine - suod port uninstall wine) also David Baumgold web developers (wine for Mac - Uninstalling Wine and MacPorts). Downloaded currant version of MacPorts for OX 10.6 following David Baumgold's notes. Tried your suggestion (port -f activate dbus and got the following: MacBookPro-2:~ jwb_admin$ port -f activate dbus Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix. Thank you for assisting in resolving this problem. Cordially, James W.
