hi :-)


when i do

port -u upgrade outdated

i get a lot of errors like

--->  Unable to uninstall xxxx, the following ports depend on it:
...
Error: Uninstall xxxx failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on fontconfig first.


but, this command is supposed to know how to update while making the things in the good order, isn't it ??

not really.

i suggest you upgrade each port individually, in the correct order.

if you get a message that a port cannot be uninstalled because another port depends on it, then force the upgrade

sudo port -nf upgrade foo

the "n" tells macports not to follow dependencies, else it would also force the rebuild of all the dependencies, even if they were not outdated and did not need to be upgraded.
