Should fix the problem.
It doesn't work. Although Perl5 in not active, there are other ports which depend on it! {{{ $ port installed perl5 The following ports are currently installed: perl5 @5.8.8_0+darwin_9 $ port installed perl5.8 The following ports are currently installed: perl5.8 @5.8.8_3+darwin_9 (active) $ port uninstall perl5 ---> Unable to uninstall perl5 5.8.8_0+darwin_9, the following ports depend on it: ---> intltool ---> icon-naming-utils ---> help2man ---> autoconf ---> gtk-doc ---> ghostscript ---> texi2html Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on perl5 first. }}} I have tried to upgrade them in the hope that they would use per5.8 but I get the following result: {{{ $ sudo port upgrade help2man ---> Activating perl5 5.8.8_0+darwin_9 Error: Activating perl5 5.8.8_0 failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/a2p is being used by the active perl5.8 port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation. }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17304#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
