#43477: subversion-perlbindings-5.16 Can't install because conflicting ports are installed -----------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: trac.macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: port conflict | Port: subversion-perlbindings-5.16 -----------------------------+------------------------------------------ OS: Snow Leopard 10.6.8 sudo port upgrade outdated fails to upgrade ports because of conflict of the ports: {{{ sudo port upgrade outdated ---> Computing dependencies for subversion-perlbindings-5.16 Error: Unable to exec port: Can't install subversion-perlbindings-5.16 because conflicting ports are installed: subversion-perlbindings-5.12 }}} I have tried uninstalling subversion-perlbindings-5.12 @1.8.1_0, but it is a dependency for p5.12-svn-simple @0.280.0_4 which in turn is dependency of git-core @1.8.3.4_0+credential_osxkeychain+doc+pcre+python27+svn At this moment I stop trying to uninstall the conflicting port as I need git. There is one simple solution suggested at superuser.com: http://superuser.com/questions/709590/macport-upgrade-fails-with- subversion-perlbindings-conflict The solution suggests forcefully deactivating the subversion- perlbindings-5.12 package via the folloging command: {{{ sudo port deactivate -f subversion-perlbindings-5.12 }}} Please solve the problem or advise on correct end-user solution. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43477> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

The current version of git-core is 1.9.2, not 1.8.3.4. It has variants for which version of perl you want to use. The default is perl 5.16. The default used to be perl 5.12, and it appears that your git-core install dates from before there were variants for selecting which perl you want. Your options are to either install git-core with the perl5_12 variant to stay with the old perl 5.12, or install git-core with the perl5_16 variant to move to the new perl 5.16. To do the former, you would: {{{ sudo port install git-core +perl5_12 }}} But the latter is probably better, and is what MacPorts is trying to do for you automatically when you run "sudo port upgrade outdated", only the subversion perl bindings ports conflict, so it can't do it for you automatically. Forcibly deactivating or uninstalling subversion- perlbindings-5.12 and p5.12-svn-simple should be fine, since after that MacPorts will be installing their perl 5.16 counterparts when git-core gets upgraded. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43477#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I used the forced deactivation command and right now all remaining outdated ports are being upgraded. I always wondered, is there a simple command that would delete all older versions of installed ports while retaining some of the older ports (and their dependencies) that I really wanted to use? And also, is there a way to install older versions of ports? I know this is not a Q&A platform, but could you enlighten me since the docs are so complex and you are already talking to me? :) Thanks again, Thomas -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43477#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
