#15076: MacPorts gets stuck in an infinite loop trying to upgrade ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: eris.discord@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: upgrade | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- So, I tell MacPorts to `port -Rv upgrade outdated`. Right off it starts compiling and everything looks good so I go off and do something else and forget about it. I come back and look at my terminal and I'm greeted with screens upon screens of something like this: {{{ ... ---> Unable to uninstall libgnomeprint 2.18.3_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> librsvg Error: Uninstall libgnomeprint 2.18.3_0 failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on libgnomeprint first. ---> Unable to uninstall libgnome 2.22.0_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> libbonoboui Error: Uninstall libgnome 2.22.0_0 failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on libgnome first. ---> Unable to uninstall libgsf 1.14.7_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> librsvg Error: Uninstall libgsf 1.14.7_0 failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on libgsf first. ---> Unable to uninstall librsvg 2.20.0_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> gimp2 Error: Uninstall librsvg 2.20.0_0 failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on librsvg first. ---> Unable to uninstall libgnome 2.22.0_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> libbonoboui Error: Uninstall libgnome 2.22.0_0 failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on libgnome first. ---> Unable to uninstall libgsf 1.14.7_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> librsvg Error: Uninstall libgsf 1.14.7_0 failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on libgsf first. ---> Unable to uninstall librsvg 2.20.0_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> gimp2 ... }}} interspersed with successful builds and sometimes installs. As you can see, the errors are sort of repeating. Some information: I am running Mac OS X 10.5.2 on a MacBook Pro that I bought just last month. MacPorts is 1.6.0, just synced this evening, and is installed in /Software/MacPorts (compiled myself, of course). Xcode developer tools version 3.0, naturally.
