unfortunately the log file's gone now, so cdn't get the values. I just managed

disappeared, so I get the impression it was overwritten.
So either it's just been fixed or whatever the issue was happened to have been
resolved in the previous install with the override.
thanks again for your help.

P.S. One other thing I discovered, by checking the output during the graphviz install with -f, is
that the dbus dependencies which broke that initially was because in /Library/LaunchDaemons on my
machine the plist file I needed to delete was "org.freedesktop.dbus-system.*" rather than
"org.macports.*", which is what the uninstall list includes - I didn't have the latter on
my machine.
Well, you're right, dbus' launchd plist has the org.freedesktop prefix, and the
if-your-MacPorts-isn't-working uninstall instructions would not catch that.
The if-your-MacPorts-isn't-working uninstall instructions won't catch 100% of
everything that MacPorts could possibly install. They just catch most things.
(If your MacPorts is working, then you'd "sudo port -f uninstall installed" and
it would uninstall that file.)
We can't really add org.freedesktop.* to the list of things to uninstall,
because those files might have been installed by the user not using MacPorts.
Hmmmmm... surprised it was still there then. Because after I
resinstalled MacPorts I uninstalled using the port command and then
deleted the same set of directories I had before. And then reinstalled
from the image (for a second time, before I started reinstalling the
ports). But that didn't delete org.freedesktop either.
