Description

I have the following problem:

$ sudo port -v uninstall atlas @3.8.3_4+gcc44
--->  Unable to uninstall/deactivate atlas @3.8.3_4+gcc44, the following ports depend on it:
--->    atlas @3.8.3_4+gcc44
--->    atlas @3.8.3_4+gcc44
Error: Target org.macports.uninstall returned: Please uninstall the ports that depend on atlas first.
Warning: the following items did not execute (for atlas): org.macports.uninstall

Warning: Failed to execute portfile from registry for atlas @3.8.3_4+gcc44

--->    atlas @3.8.3_4+gcc44
Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on atlas first.

i.e. atlas depend on itself! The Portfile seems correct, so I assume that it's a bug in base.

I've never seen anything like that. Are you sure you did not locally modify your atlas port, either now or previously, to include a dependency on itself?

comment:2 Changed 13 years ago by vinc17@…

No, I've never modified the atlas port. I don't even use atlas. It was installed automatically due to the dependency in py26-numpy, but now I use its no_atlas variant.

Priority:	Normal → High
Summary:	A port shouldn't depend on itself → port says that ports depend only of themselves

It seems to be a problem for all ports. Something is very broken. For instance:

$ port echo dependentof:libpng
libpng
$ sudo port -v uninstall libpng @1.4.5_0

same thing happens to me with perl5.8.9_3 saying that is depending on perl5. currently I have perl5.12 installed and active, and perl5.8.9_3 inactive. doing a port uninstall inactive:

Replying to zappaisgod@…:

same thing happens to me with perl5.8.9_3 saying that is depending on perl5.

No, this is not the same bug. perl5.8 and perl5 are two different ports.

The problem no longer occurs after upgrading MacPorts. It seems to be a duplicate of #27506, which was fixed in r76827.
