perl5: /opt/local/share/man/man3p/App::Prove.3pm already exists and does not belong to a registered port

[actionscripted@…]

(apologies for not putting the version in the title -- no idea where to find that for php5-mcrypt but I'm running MacPorts version 2.0.3)

When running "sudo port install php5-mcrypt" I get the following:

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/man/man3p/App::Prove.3pm already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port perl5. Use 'port -f activate perl5' to force the activation.

I've removed all installed ports (sudo port -fp uninstall --follow-dependents installed), tried it again and gotten the same result.

Attaching the file referenced and would be happy test/try anything if it'd help.

Why does /opt/local/share/man/man3p/App::Prove.3pm already exist and not belong to a registered port? You can remove that file, but there will probably be hundreds of other interfering files. You can force the activation of perl5 to forcibly move those interfering files out of the way ("sudo port -f activate perl5") but they should not have been there in the first place and you may find the same problem later with other ports. If so, uninstall MacPorts completely using the instructions in the guide (including actually deleting /opt/local entirely), then install MacPorts again.

Did a full removal of MacPorts including everything in /opt/local. Everything worked perfectly this time.
