Rainer, Josh, Thank you for your clear explanations. I understand the difference between the two: port installed inactive port list inactive
Following your message, I successfully have managed to uninstall one of the two inactive ports, but I have activated the other, instead uninstalling, because of new dependency message I got. Thanks to your helps, now I am able to have macports states in which there is no inactive ports. Kuniaki The following is the log of command lines for getting the port state having no inactive ports. % port installed inactive The following ports are currently installed: p5-test-harness @3.14_0 p5-test-simple @0.86_0 render @0.9_1 % port uninstall [email protected]_0 ---> Unable to uninstall p5-test-harness 3.14_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> p5-test-simple Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on p5-test-harness first. % port uninstall [email protected]_0 ---> Unable to uninstall p5-test-simple 0.86_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> p5-xml-simple Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on p5-test-simple first. % sudo port activate [email protected]_0 Password: ---> Activating p5-test-simple @0.86_0 % sudo port activate [email protected]_0 ---> Activating p5-test-harness @3.14_0 Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/prove is being used by the active perl5.8 port.
