Why all the repetitions? I only have one active copy of ImageMagick installed, and all inactive versions have been uninstalled:
Sure? Then, it should not hurt to type $> port uninstall inactive
Thank you for your replies. Here's the result of `port uninstall inactive': fibonacci:~ dickinsm$ sudo port uninstall inactive Password: ---> Unable to uninstall mpfr 2.2.1_0+darwin_8, the following ports depend on it: ---> gcc41 ---> gcc40 ---> gcc40 ---> gcc41 ---> gcc41 Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on mpfr first. and `port echo inactive' gives me only: mpfr @2.2.1_0+darwin_8 (the result of a recent upgrade). `port selfupdate' tells me that `DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed' and `The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated'. And the system is OS X 10.4.8. MacPorts was installed in as standard a way as possible, as far as I know. I've been trying to understand the source to see where the `port dependents' command is getting its information from, but my understanding of Tcl is close to nonexistent. Do I understand correctly that the `port registry' is not a single file, but the collection of information coming from the files in subdirectories of /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts? The feature isn't limited to ImageMagick and bzip2; for example: fibonacci:~ dickinsm$ port dependents readline ghc depends on readline gnuplot depends on readline darcs depends on readline py-readline depends on readline freeciv depends on readline gnuplot depends on readline hugs98 depends on readline ghc depends on readline ghc depends on readline darcs depends on readline ruby depends on readline ruby depends on readline ghc depends on readline bash depends on readline py25-readline depends on readline sqlite3 depends on readline ghc depends on readline octave depends on readline All this is really not a problem in practice---all the ports that I need are working perfectly; I'd just dearly like to understand what's going on. Finally, here's the output of `port installed' (with all the extra embarrassment that goes with letting everyone else see exactly what I do with my computer...) Any clues as to what's going on would be appreciated.
