I have a very basic question that I couldn't answer for myself by
looking at the port manpage or by searching the macports website.
My install base is cluttered by many inactive versions of ports
that I cannot uninstall without running in dependency problems.
For example, this is a list of all the ports that I have installed:
The following ports are currently installed:
a2ps @4.13b_3 (active)
aalib @1.4rc5_2 (active)
apr @1.2.11_0 (active)
apr @1.2.8_0
apr @1.2.9_0
[snip]
(side note: it would be nice if MacPorts would sort this in "natural
order" so that 1.2.11 appears after 1.2.9...)
How do I get rid of inactive, duplicate versions of ports that I
have installed without hitting the dependency wall?
sudo port -f uninstall inactive
In the future, you can
sudo port -u upgrade foo
if you would like MacPorts to upgrade foo, and automatically
uninstall (-u) the old version afterwards.
