Hi everybody,
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:

How do I get rid of inactive, duplicate versions of ports that I
have installed without hitting the dependency wall?
For example, I have numerous versions of GTK installed:
gtk2 @2.10.13_0
gtk2 @2.10.14_0
gtk2 @2.12.0_0
gtk2 @2.12.1_0 (active)
Though I should only need the latest which is active.
A "sudo port uninstall inactive" doesn't do the job. I have the
feeling that macports is adding stuff to my system with every
upgrade without getting rid of the old stuff and eating away at my
hard drive space. What's the best way to solve this problem?
thanks for your help,
Tobias W.
wont sudo port -df uninstall inactive do it?
in the future instead of doing sudo port install foo
why dont you use
sudo port -duf foo
which will uninstall the old version of foo,
but -warning- Im new here myself. :)
