How do I handle upgrading from the current port to that? If oracle- instantclient is changed to depend on oracle-instantclient-intel, say, and oracle-instantclient-intel installs the files that are currently installed by oracle-instantclient, then MacPorts will try to install oracle-instantclient-intel first before uninstalling the old oracle-instantclient and it'll have an activation error because the files are still there. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
