#23520: py26-docutils upgrade doesn't go smoothly because of py26-roman -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jmr@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: py26-docutils, py26-roman -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Upgrading py26-docutils 0.5 to 0.6 does not go smoothly: {{{ $ sudo port -u upgrade py26-docutils Password: ---> Computing dependencies for py26-roman ---> Fetching py26-roman ---> Attempting to fetch roman-1.4.0.tar.gz from http://distfiles.macports.org/python ---> Verifying checksum(s) for py26-roman ---> Extracting py26-roman ---> Configuring py26-roman ---> Building py26-roman ---> Staging py26-roman into destroot ---> Installing py26-roman @1.4.0_0 ---> Activating py26-roman @1.4.0_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/roman.py is being used by the active py26-docutils port.

Error: Problem while installing py26-roman Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output. $ }}} py26-docutils 0.5 provided roman.py. Now that file is provided by py26-roman and py26-docutils now declares a dependency on it. But that dependency cannot be activated while the old version of py26-docutils is active. Perhaps this can be solved similarly to the way I solved the issue when spawn-fcgi was broken out of lighttpd; see r58202. The success of this method depends on being able to programmatically identify the version of py26-docutils currently installed; if that can be done, this solution should be possible. Another example of the same solution in action is in the dcraw port, to prevent a conflict when upgrading ufraw; see r62451. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23520> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
