I have wiped the root5 installation and re-installed and for what I can see the two have the exact same root5 installed.... I was going to re-install python27 too, but there are a lot of dependencies so it might be a pretty complicated business... is there a way to do the uninstall without breaking these dependencies? I am going to check if there is any difference in the python27 installation first....<br>

I doubt you need to reinstall python27. In general, if a port installed, it installed successfully. Builds are supposed to be repeatable and not vary based on circumstances.<br>
<br>
<br>
Are there cases where the port can be installed without success? If so, what are those corner cases?<br>
<br>
I for one am quite happy that builds are repeatable. I've lived in environments where builds weren't necessarily repeatable and it was...problematic.<br>

I think he was referring to cases such as where the post-activate step fails. Usually, in such cases, the software is "installed" but some configuration step may not have happened. Eg, a default configuration file might not be copied to where it ought to be</blockquote>
