There were two other versions of gtk2 installed; but port let me uninstall them.
I'm assuming things have fallen into some confused state. How might I fix it?
Are you just referring to the fact that "gtk2" is printed three times as a dependency, though it's only installed once? If so, then that's a well-known (but still unfixed) bug:
Not "just" that; if this were only cosmetic, I wouldn't care much. I'm referring to the fact that port won't let me uninstall the inactive tiff because there are apparently bogus dependencies around. The lone installed (and active) gtk2 should be using the active tiff installation. This is just a particular instance of a problem that now pervades my MacPorts installation. -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <braden@endoframe.com> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <braden@jabber.org>
