I think I would have had to rm and restart about 50 times during installation of gnupg, but fortunately I was able to remove a whole lot of files at once, using Unix * wildcard. Don't like using wildcards when I'm root.
Since not one single package I have installed has reported that it is up to date, it looks as though I should do something like "sudo port install all", shouldn't I?
what does "port provides /opt/local/share/locale/locale.alias" tell you? it says it's unregistered or unassociated with any installed port, so I don't think anything will be revealed. Have you installed anything manually (ie, from source w/o MacPorts) on this system? If you haven't got anything /opt/local that isn't owned by MacPorts, you can use "port -f install gnupg" to override any of the issues you're seeing. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@mac.com>
