Rather than mess around more, what is the best way to start
fresh--short of wiping the disk and reinstalling OS X, XCode, etc?
So the rebuild issue is that likely, there are dependencies being
had that aren't actually recorded. So when you build package X with
universal it may not go back in and rebuild Y universal as well.
You could dump out the ports you actually want (port echo requested)
and save them somewhere, deactivate everything you have installed,
then feed your list of requested ports in as your install command.
Be sure to add +universal if you still want it.
Um, I thought I'd done that (and more) when I did "sudo port
uninstall installed".
Some time ago, I followed the migration instructions on another
machine and did "sudo port clean all". Is that a good option? I
remember being surprised at how long it took. I think it would be
faster to delete the whole /opt/... hierarchy and reinstall MacPorts?
And, no, I didn't really want universal. I thought the lack of it
was causing the hiccup.
