#43477: subversion-perlbindings-5.16 Can't install because conflicting ports are
installed

 Reporter:  trac.macports@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect           |     Status:  new
 Priority:  High             |  Milestone:
Component:  ports            |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:  port conflict    |       Port:  subversion-perlbindings-5.16
-----------------------------+------------------------------------------
 OS: Snow Leopard 10.6.8

 sudo port upgrade outdated fails to upgrade ports because of conflict of
 the ports:

 {{{
 sudo port upgrade outdated
 --->  Computing dependencies for subversion-perlbindings-5.16
 Error: Unable to exec port: Can't install subversion-perlbindings-5.16
 because conflicting ports are installed: subversion-perlbindings-5.12
 }}}

 I have tried uninstalling subversion-perlbindings-5.12 @1.8.1_0, but it is
 a dependency for p5.12-svn-simple @0.280.0_4 which in turn is dependency
 of git-core @1.8.3.4_0+credential_osxkeychain+doc+pcre+python27+svn

 At this moment I stop trying to uninstall the conflicting port as I need
 git.

 There is one simple solution suggested at superuser.com:
 http://superuser.com/questions/709590/macport-upgrade-fails-with-
 subversion-perlbindings-conflict
 The solution suggests forcefully deactivating the subversion-
 perlbindings-5.12 package via the folloging command:
 {{{
 sudo port deactivate -f subversion-perlbindings-5.12
 }}}


 Please solve the problem or advise on correct end-user solution.
