Description
I am using Mac OS X Tiger.
I have used darwinports for a long time. I upgraded to macports a couple of months ago, I regularly saw error messages such "this port is already installed" when upgrading my packages I uninstalled then reinstalled the package. This has been fine until now, I had tetex installed when I tried to install texlive, I had to remove tetex, when I did this a registry error occured. I assumed my registry was corrupted and did the following:
sudo rm -rf ${prefix} \ /Applications/MacPorts \ /Applications/DarwinPorts \ /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \ /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \ /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \ /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \ /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \ /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \ /etc/manpaths.d/macports \ /etc/paths.d/macports
When trying to install the latest macports the installer kept reporting "please try installing again", when I run from the command line I get this:
