kdelibs4 conflicts with kdebase4-runtime

[ron@…]

After executing a "sudo port -v upgrade outdated" I can no longer use kmymoney4 because kdelibs4 @6.0.0_0 will not activate.... I have tried port -f activate kdelibs4 @6.0.0_0 but this does not work, I have tried to re-install kdelibs4 but that does not work either. Unable to upgrade port: 1

Please remember to cc the maintainers of the affected ports, and put the name of the port in the Port field. As per the ticket guidelines, the High priority is reserved for the use of MacPorts team members.

How does port -f activate kdelibs4 @4.6.0 not work?

MacPorts cannot handle the situation where a file was moved from the old version of a package to the new version of a new package. We also cannot say that a package conflicts with its dependent.

Either deactivate the old conflicted package, or as MacPorts suggests, you force activate the new package.

Pulling from py26-roman, we can do some nasty magic to detect this but it remains up to the user to fix the issue:

pre-activate {
    if {[file exists ${python.pkgd}/roman.py]
        && ![catch {set vers [lindex [registry_active py26-docutils] 0]}]
        && [rpm-vercomp [lindex $vers 1] 0.6] < 0} {
        # check for arbitrary 1.9 feature
        if {[info exists negated_variants]} {
            registry_deactivate py26-docutils "" [list ports_nodepcheck 1]
        } else {
            return -code error "py26-docutils [lindex $vers 1] conflicts with $name, please deactivate it first."
        }
    }
}

This problem was solved by uninstalling kdelibs4 @4.6.0_0, @4.5.5_3, @4.5.5_2, @4.5.5_0. @4.5.4_0 would not uninstall because of dependancies..... @4.6.0_0 was then re-installed and port activated... Port 1 successfully upgraded....... This seems to have resolved the problem with kmymoney failing to launch.........
