openexr conflicts with but also depends on ilmbase

[jannesbolten@…]

when i try to upgrade my openexr installation using MacPorts, I keep getting an error that relates to ilmbase. it seems that ilmbase is a dependency of openexr, so it needs to be activated. but when MacPorts tries to activate ilmbase, there is an error. MacPorts asks for openexr to be deactivated first. that's fine. deactivating openexr and subsequently activating ilmbase is no problem. but if i then try to upgrade openexr, there is this error:

--->  Activating openexr 1.4.0_0
Error: Activating openexr 1.4.0_0 failed: Image error: /opt/local/include/OpenEXR/half.h is being used by the active ilmbase port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

so this is a bit of a catch-22 situation.

for completeness' sake, here's what i see when i try to upgrade openexr with ilmbase deactivated:

--->  Activating ilmbase 1.0.1_1
Error: Activating ilmbase 1.0.1_1 failed: Image error: /opt/local/include/OpenEXR/half.h is being used by the active openexr port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

I had the same problem. I fixed it with the following steps.

port deactivate openexr
port activate ilmbase
port -f uninstall openexr
port clean --all openexr
port install openexr

Hope this helps,

Simon

Why "Activating openexr 1.4.0_0"? openexr was updated to 1.6.1_0 in r35935. I don't have any problem with conflicting files when using the current version of openexr and ilmbase. Please sudo port selfupdate and try again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

You may want to just remove your existing installed versions of openexr and ilmbase and reinstall.

sudo port uninstall openexr ilmbase
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install openexr

Was the problem that a file in the older openexr was moved to ilmbase (and subsequently removed by the newer openexr)?
