Yesterday I did update my qt version from 4.6.2 to 4.7.1 and now I am not able to activate the new version.

sudo port activate qt4-mac @4.7.1_0+mysql+quartz ---> Activating qt4-mac @4.7.1_0+mysql+quartz Error: port activate failed: could not create new link "/opt/local/bin/lrelease": that path already exists

Also removing the symlink manually before running port activate doesn't work.

When I say "old version of port" what I mean is one that pre-dates using sqlite for keeping the database. I only updated mine with 1.9.0 to that version; IIRC, you have to completely reinstall from scratch. From "${prefix}/etc/macports/macports.conf": {{{ # Type of storage to use for the port registry information, "flat" or "sqlite" # default is sqlite, flat is legacy #portdbformat sqlite }}} Before I upgraded this was set to "flat" which was good for the time; now I use "sqlite" which is -so- much better. I think there's a wiki-page about doing this upgrade. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27611#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I'd highly recommend moving from flat to sqlite for the database; it is much faster & also allows use of certain stages (e.g., pre- activate). And, if 'port' will do the work auto-magically, even better! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27611#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
