By definition, uninstalling a port removes its archive, which is how we could tell what files it installed. IIRC the only "remnants" might be files created by a post-activate phase, which MacPorts does not track. Deactivation should remove everything else. Your issue is not related to any of this, though. > I ran “port select —summary” as you suggested and got the response > > Name Selected Options > ==== ======== ======= > cython none none > gcc none none > ipython none none > ipython2 none none > ipython3 none none > llvm none mp-llvm-3.5 none > nosetests none none > pip none none > python none python26-apple python27-apple none > python2 none python26-apple python27-apple none > python3 none none Okay, I was thinking that the groups would still have the stale setting, but they don't, so this won't help. > I do not want to rely on my memory of which of these I have uninstalled.

Nothing will happen, I think, because the groups are already set to "none". What you could try is explicitly setting and then unsetting: sudo port select --set python python27-apple sudo port select --set python none And likewise for "python2". Unfortunately you don't have any Python 3 ports installed. > My guess is that only the symbolic link would be removed, leaving the true > file in place, but I would like to be sure before I take any action. Correct; "port select" does not affect the contents of any ports. vq _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
