Hello,<br><br>(a novice question)<br><br>I installed a package (py25-matplotlib), had some trouble with using it,<br>then did a port selfupdate,<br><br>then upgraded the package.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the process, a number of packages were deactivated.<br>
<br>For example, it looks like I now have two copies of python25, numpy, <br>3 copies of libpng, etc.<br><br>How can I uninstall these now (to clean up and save disk space)?<br><br>For example<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; port uninstall python25 @2.5.1_2+darwin_8<br>
says that I cannot uninstall this (deactivated) python because other things<br>depend on it.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>Most of those things are things that I&#39;m actively using (py-readline for example).<br><br>should I uninstall and reinstall all of these?&nbsp;&nbsp; If so, it seems like upgrading is a bad<br>
strategy, one can save work by uninstalling and reinstalling?<br><br><br><br><br>
