yes. Only it is what happened in the past. And now the files in question are destrooted, and thus part of the image (as can also be seen in the buildbot's log). And that's why port refuses to activate the image: Some files contained in it are already present at the target location (unregistered). The question at hand is how to get rid of the files that have been installed without being registered _previously_. Regards Thomas P.S.: Some more clarification: I am not a regular mac or macports user (pretty much only for porting RKWard), and so I'm not up to speed on all this. However, I am both upstream author, and the debian package maintainer of rkward, and so I do know first-hand that rkward's "make install" is designed to respect DESTDIR argument. Apparently there used to be a bug (now fixed) in either cmake, or R, or something else, that caused the files to be mis- installed to the system path, anyway, or not registered for any other reason. RKWard's upstream installation procedure has not changed in three years, with respect to these files.
