I'm new to MacPorts. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.10. By mistake I
downloaded and installed the Leopard version of MacPorts.
I've tried uninstalling MacPorts as described in the MacPorts FAQ
however when I run the Tiger version of the installer it first asks
me if I want to upgrade the installation and then seems to get
stuck during the installation process. I suspect that some part of
the Leopard installation has not been removed.
How can I fix this?
Follow the uninstall instructions in the FAQ, but also remove the
MacPorts receipt in /Library/Receipts. Then try installing the Tiger
version again. If it gets stuck again, tell us exactly where.
I've gone through the uninstall process again.
The only thing I can see in /Library/Receipts is
com.adobe.Reader
When I run the installer, I get to the Install step and then click
the "Upgrade" button. The installer gets to the "Finishing
Installation" step (about 90% of the way through the progress bar)
however then it stops.
Sorry about that: I didn't mean the Receipts folder in the Library
folder in your home folder (which on my system also contains only a
folder called com.adobe.Reader); I mean the Receipts folder in the
Library folder at the root of your hard drive (which should contain
many many items, including something like MacPorts-1.5.0.pkg).
I have updated the uninstall instructions so that they also remove
the receipts, so please follow them again, then try installing
MacPorts again.

FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts
The button in the Installer only reads "Upgrade" if a prior receipt
is found, and reads "Install" otherwise.
Dear developers: is there a good reason why the package is called
"MacPorts-1.5.0.pkg"? Wouldn't "MacPorts.pkg" be better? Otherwise
people installing subsequent versions will end up with multiple
receipts...
