Hi,

the following happens if I try to install software depending on p5 -extutils-parsexs:

---> Activating p5-extutils-parsexs @2.19_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/MacPorts/share/man/man3/ExtUtils::ParseXS.3pm.gz is being used by the active perl5.8 port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation. Error: The following dependencies failed to build: p5-test-warn p5-array- compare p5-module-build p5-extutils-parsexs p5-module-signature p5 -digest-sha p5-version p5-yaml p5-sub-uplevel p5-test-exception p5-test- simple p5-tree-dag_node Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

of course the following works, but its *NOT* nice:

dreamind@paris:~% sudo port activate -f p5-extutils-parsexs ---> Activating p5-extutils-parsexs Warning: File /opt/MacPorts/share/man/man3/ExtUtils::ParseXS.3pm.gz already exists. Moving to: /opt/MacPorts/share/man/man3/ExtUtils::ParseXS.3pm.gz.mp_1234304728.

For some reason the man page is also in perl5.8.

Greetings,

Stefan
