I saw that I had some outdated ports, and did an upgrade of outdated and not openmodelica-devel. The difficulty is that one of those ports was omniORBpy which is what would have “broken" openmodelica-devel and caused the rev-upgrade. This is not something that would have been obvious beforehand. And also, is not a problem by itself. </div><div>The problem is that “-u” got passed to this rev-upgrade so during that process, all the old ones were deleted. The idea that "sudo port -u upgrade outdated and not openmodelica-devel” will not only upgrade openmodelica-devel but also delete all the old version of that specific port seems like a trap to users. </div><div><br></div><div>—Adam</div><div><br></div></body></html>
