For quite a while I've been having problems upgrading and uninstalling imagemagick (I'm on Leopard but things on Tiger where the same). I just did
port uninstall imagemagick
and it no longer appears listed as installed. However, if I manually browse the bin/, lib/ etc. directories, the files are still there and usable. Indeed, if I now do
port install imagemagick
I get the message (after things are compiled and ready to install again) that animate, etc are still there. In the past, when upgrading imagemagick, the process always stopped at the installation phase because the issued uninstall didn't really uninstall the older files. I would then have to use -f option to force the install, which indeed worked but would otherwise also leave the old files around (with an added suffix .mp_somenumber). I would then have to manually erase them which is a tedious task.
I've been using macports for a long time but never experienced this behavior before with other ports. Could someone fix this, please?
Port names are case-sensitive. You needed to have typed: port uninstall ImageMagick or, in the case of upgrading: port upgrade ImageMagick This problem is filed here: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11759
