Macports, port upgarde and depenadncies definately flawed
Hi All, To add to the on-going discussion. I just did: sudo port -f upgrade gnome-user-docs I get the following output Warning: Uninstall forced. Proceeding despite dependencies. ---> Deactivating libart_lgpl 2.3.19_1 ---> Uninstalling libart_lgpl 2.3.19_1 ---> Installing libart_lgpl 2.3.19_1 ---> Activating libart_lgpl 2.3.19_1 ---> Cleaning libart_lgpl ---> Fetching XFree86 Error: You have an Apple X11 installation already. MacPorts will not overwrite it. If you really want to use XFree86 instead, please move it aside first : sudo mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6.apple ---> Attempting to fetch XFree86-4.6.0-src-1.tgz from http://ftp- stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.xfree86.org/XFree86/4.6.0/source/ ---> Attempting to fetch XFree86-4.6.0-src-2.tgz from http://ftp- stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.xfree86.org/XFree86/4.6.0/source/ ---> Attempting to fetch XFree86-4.6.0-src-3.tgz from http://ftp- stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.xfree86.org/XFree86/4.6.0/source/ ---> Attempting to fetch XFree86-4.6.0-src-4.tgz from http://ftp- stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.xfree86.org/XFree86/4.6.0/source/ ---> Attempting to fetch XFree86-4.6.0-src-5.tgz from http://ftp- stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.xfree86.org/XFree86/4.6.0/source/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for XFree86 ---> Extracting XFree86 ---> Applying patches to XFree86 ---> Configuring XFree86 ---> Building XFree86 with target World Well if it sees I have X11 and I definately do not want to install why does it do it anyway ? I guess I going to write my own perl script for upgrading, because it is ridiculous that port wants to install things I do not want need screwing up my set up. Accidently hit Ctrl-C instead of Command- C for the copy. Oh, well back to the drawing board. Interestingly, when I did sudo port -d upgrade gnome-user-docs Xfree was not installed. regards Keith.

If you ever need to use -f to force an upgrade, you probably also want to use -n to do it non-recursively. Otherwise you often get unhelpful behavior.

This sounds more like a bug in the XFree86 port than a bug in MacPorts proper. The port prints these messages telling you that you probably don't want to install it, but then proceeds to install it anyway. The port should return an error at this point rather than proceeding.

That is right I somehow thought ui_error included its own exit code, I just fixed the Portfile Of course, one might wonder what is more ridiculous between making an error and yelling like a child. yves
