No, you’re absolutely right. The scary thing is how stupid and sloppy I seem to be. On the other hand, the list of ports to be removed was huge. How am I to know if it’s OK to remove something like popt? > And more generally, remove anything you have in /usr/local. Isn’t that where Homebrew installs its stuff? I prefer to use MacPorts, but sometimes I need something that doesn’t have a port, like avconv, growlnotify and others.
