Hi,
I am quite a new MacOS X user, and I happened to fall into a very annoying situation as follows...
When I tried to remove a package, I got
fukuda@quadra:~% sudo port -f uninstall perl5.8 ---> Unable to uninstall perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8, the following ports depend on it: ---> p5-xml-parser ---> autoconf ---> automake ---> gnome-mime-data ---> vnc Warning: Uninstall forced. Proceeding despite dependencies. ---> Uninstalling perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8
It seemed that the uninstall was successful, but when I tried to install it, I got
fukuda@quadra:~% sudo port -f install perl5.8 ---> Installing perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8 Error: Target com.apple.install returned: Registry error: perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8 already registered as installed. Please uninstall it first. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. fukuda@quadra:~%
I repeated these commands with some other options, but neither of them did not work. I cannot install or uninstall Perl, and this prohibits porting of many other packages.
Could you show me how to get out of this situation?
Thanks,
