I think I messed up my macports installation. Is there a subversion version 1.4.3_0 and 1.4.3_1 ? From what I can tell it's as if I installed two identical versions of several packages. Is that even possible? Do these two versions of svn exist in the MacPorts repository? Also, I can't remember what package installs /opt/local/bin/su, but is it really required? I traced it up to some gtk+vfs package. The dependents list probably goes higher. (I can verify these when I get back to my Apple.) How does that su command work in this case? I noticed the file because it took over Apple's `su` in /usr/bin since my PATH includes macports /opt directories before the default OS X /usr/bin etc. I'm assuming the macports `su` doesn't have access to the OS X users because when I typed `su -` it never lets me in (password always incorrect). I moved the macports `su` aside to another file so I could keep the rest of my PATH info the same. Has anyone had this experience? If anyone can enlighten me on these issues that would be great. John

Sure. The number after the underscore is the macports 'revision' number. It just means I updated something with the subversion port after I created the 1.4.3 version (from the commit log, I can see that it was a change to the +tools variant to build and install the 'mucc' tool instead of just its source code).

You can only have one version active at a time (and you probably don't need both). You can uninstall the older (1.4.3_0) version.

I don't know which port installs it, but macports remembers. run 'port provides /opt/local/bin/su' and it will tell you. -- Daniel J.
