#18408: Cannot upgrade mercurial (macports wants to reinstall latest dependencies) ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: apple@… | Owner: deric@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: mercurial ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by macsforever2000@…): You do not need to reply twice, all people in the cc, such as snc, will get your replies. Based on the output of the 'port installed' command above, I think the problem is that none of your ports are active, even though they are installed. You do not seem to be using 'sudo' before port and AFAIK, you must do that. That would explain why ports are getting reinstalled and failing. Try the following: {{{ sudo port activate mercurial }}} You will still have to activate all of the dependencies for it to work. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18408#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
