 Successfully installed wine 3.1 on my macbook pro 10.5.8.  However, I
 tried editing part of wine through terminal, to enable 16 bit.  Didn't
 work and wine stopped working, so I deleted the opt file on my macintosh
 HD folder.  When I tried reinstalling, even after deleting and then
 reinstalling the necessary components (see the attached link, its the
 process I followed... worked the first time.)  So now, each time I
 reinstall wine through the terminal command "sudo port install wine", the
 process is stopped when terminal is "activiating python27
 @2.7.2_0+universal."  Following this, I get this error message:

 When I tried to force activate python27 by using port -f, terminal states
 that the command "activate" is an unrecognized action... any advice how to
 proceed with this?

Comment:

 Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field,
 and cc the maintainer.

 There is no bug here; MacPorts is correctly refraining from overwriting
 existing files. If you don't want the existing files, delete them. If you
 force the activation, they will be renamed. I can only assume you typed
 the command wrong or something, as
 {{{
 sudo port -f activate python27
 }}}
 should definitely work.
