Sierra 10.12.6 + latest security updates, MacPorts 2.5.4.
Doing my regular Monday "port upgrade outdated", and...
---> Computing dependencies for poppler
---> Configuring poppler
Error: poppler cannot be built while another version of poppler is active.
Error: Please forcibly deactivate the existing copy of poppler, e.g. by
running:
Error:
Error: sudo port -f deactivate poppler
Error:
Error: Then try again.
Error: Failed to configure poppler: poppler is active
Note that I do not file bug reports unless I am 100% sure that it is
indeed a bug, and not my own silly fault; I've had this policy for 40+
years.
So,
ozzie:~ dave$ sudo port -f deactivate poppler
---> Unable to deactivate poppler @0.72.0_0, the following ports depend on
it:
---> gimp2 @2.10.8_3+python27
Warning: Deactivate forced. Proceeding despite dependencies.
---> Deactivating poppler @0.72.0_0
---> Cleaning poppler
Hmmm... Proceed regardless:
ozzie:~ dave$ sudo port -p upgrade outdated
Nothing to upgrade.
(Yes, I'm in the habit of using "-p" to get past broken ports.)
Well, I don't (yet) use GIMP, and I have no idea what "poppler" is, so I
guess I can live with it.
