It was a bug in the old portfile, fixed now though. So just force the activate:

sudo port -f activate clhep @2.1.3.0_0

comment:2 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

The following would also help:

sudo rm /opt/local/lib/libCLHEP.a /opt/local/lib/libCLHEP.dylib

before activating clhep (but not once a new version is activated). So sudo port -f activate ... is probably safer.

See also #36866. (The new port could automatically delete the files though and correct for the errors of the previous version. It's only a question of whether this affects many people or not. If there are only a few users, it's probably easier to do "port -f activate". If there are many, it's probably the duty of the new port to fix the error.)

Summary: Problem upgrading CLHEPclhep: activation error: libCLHEP.a already exists and does not belong to a registered port

The port needs to be fixed so that users upgrading from those broken versions of the port do not need to force the activation, as was discussed at comment:ticket:36866:5. We need to give our users (and our buildbots) an upgrade path that does not involve manual intervention by the user (or, in the case of the buildbots, our server admin).

I did and got:

For comment:2 (Mojca): too late!!! :-)

For comment:3 (Ryan): what I wonted to stress with this ticket... ;-)

Delete them or ignore them.
