When I type:

Why all the repetitions? I only have one active copy of ImageMagick installed, and all inactive versions have been uninstalled:
$> port installed | grep ImageMagick ImageMagick @6.3.2-9_0+darwin_8 (active)
I can only assume that all these lines refer to previously installed, and since uninstalled, versions of ImageMagick. How does my system know about these previously uninstalled versions? I can't find any trace of the previously installed versions on my system. Is there some file somewhere that still keeps track of all the previous versions? Is there any way to update this file?
Interesting. I don't know what's going on. All I can say is that I too have had many versions of ImageMagick installed, and only one is now installed, and port dependents bzip2 only shows one line of output for me: $ port dependents bzip2 ImageMagick depends on bzip2 $ port installed ImageMagick The following ports are currently installed: ImageMagick @6.3.2-9_0+darwin_8 (active) Do you have the latest version of MacPorts? Try "sudo port selfupdate" to see if it updates your MacPorts.
