I didn't interrupt during port installation, but vim's editing process between installations. I re-checked the terminal buffer and noticed this message $ sudo port install py-textfsm Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state. py-textfsm has 3 files in the registry. > Hard to say how right or wrong this is without also seeing what 'port > installed bison' reports, but in general these files are supposed to be > deleted when the last port that references them is uninstalled. $ port installed bison None of the specified ports are installed. In my logs I realised that it was installed once last year and twice the present, possibily as a run dep.
