sudo port -f uninstall inactive To prevent having inactive versions of ports in the future, pass the - u switch when upgrading. This will force it to uninstall the old version before activating the new (remember to pass -f as well, or it may fail at the uninstalling of the old version due to dependencies; I believe you need -n as well at this point, or the -f will make it try and upgrade all dependencies whether or not they need it) On Feb 1, 2007, at 4:33 PM, Jason Stelzer wrote:

It seems needlessly large. I've tried: port clean --all installed

but that doesn't seem to do what I thought it did. I don't think there's any need for 3 built versions of Imagemagick for instance.

Granted, its not the biggest offender in the world, but it seems like a needless waste of space.

Yes, although again you may want to put the -n switch in there to prevent attempted upgrading of dependencies that are not outdated. On Feb 1, 2007, at 5:34 PM, Mark Hattam wrote:

So to upgrade outdated items, is the command ... ?

sudo port -u -f upgrade outdated
