#14816: Uninstall dependency check broken ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: florian.ebeling@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: | ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ The dependency check on uninstall is broken, it seems. Here is an example output from an attempt to remove older versions, wich are inactive: {{{ bash-3.2# port -v uninstall inactive ---> Unable to uninstall apr 1.2.8_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> apr-util ---> subversion ---> subversion ---> apache2 ---> subversion ---> subversion-perlbindings ---> apr-util Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on apr first. }}} I would say this made sense if there was no active apr port, but thats not the case: {{{ bash-3.2# port installed apr The following ports are currently installed: apr @1.2.12_1+darwin_9 (active) apr @1.2.8_0 }}} And the port cannot use the not-active port anyway. The same behaviour can be observed, when I try a different approach: {{{ bash-3.2# port -vu uninstall ---> Unable to uninstall apr 1.2.8_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> apr-util ---> subversion ---> subversion ---> apache2 ---> subversion ---> subversion-perlbindings ---> apr-util Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on apr first. }}} So I assume the check of dependencies is not working, or am I missing something here? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14816> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
