Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field, and cc the maintainer.

There is no bug here; MacPorts is correctly refraining from overwriting existing files. If you don't want the existing files, remove them. If you force the activation, they will be renamed. I can only assume you typed the command wrong or something, as 

sudo port -f activate python27

should definitely work.

    initial v1  
    11Successfully installed wine 3.1 on my macbook pro 10.5.8.  However, I tried editing part of wine through terminal, to enable 16 bit.  Didn't work and wine stopped working, so I deleted the opt file on my macintosh HD folder.  When I tried reinstalling, even after deleting and then reinstalling the necessary components (see the attached link, its the process I followed... worked the first time.)  So now, each time I reinstall wine through the terminal command "sudo port install wine", the process is stopped when terminal is "activiating python27 @2.7.2_0+universal."  Following this, I get this error message:

    1212When I tried to force activate python27 by using port -f, terminal states that the command "activate" is an unrecognized action... any advice how to proceed with this?
