Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with lastest XCode. Completely uninstalled macports with these instructions: http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html Installed Macports again, then installing wine-devel I get this (tried 3 times, no folder in /opt apart from X11 after uninstall):

Activating dbus @1.6.8_0+startupitem+universal
Error: org.macports.activate for port dbus returned: Image error: /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port dbus. Use 'port -f activate dbus' to force the activation.
Error: Failed to install dbus

Summary: dbus 1.6.8_0 instalation failuredbus 1.6.8_0 activation failure

Unfortunately some ports, in this case dbus, install files with unusual names in unusual places which our manual uninstall instructions do not cover, in this case /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist. You can either manually delete that file, or use force the activation (sudo port -f activate dbus) to have MacPorts move the file(s) with conflicting name(s) out of the way for you. Can you elaborate on how sudo port -f activate dbus did not work? It should have. If not, run it with the debug flag (sudo port -df activate dbus) and see if there are any errors.
