I'm going through my ports installation and pruning out old versions. I've cleared out a few Python installs and now Perl is getting the same treatment. However I've gotten stuck and am not sure on the best way to proceed without breaking something.
$ port installed perl* The following ports are currently installed: perl5 @5.26.1_0+perl5_26 (active) perl5.24 @5.24.4_4 (active) perl5.26 @5.26.3_4 (active) perl5.28 @5.28.2_2 (active) $ port dependents perl5.24 p5.24-alien-wxwidgets depends on perl5.24 .... $ sudo port uninstall p5.24-alien-wxwidgets depends on perl5.24 Note: It is not recommended to uninstall/deactivate a port that has dependents as it breaks the dependents. The following ports will break: p5-alien-wxwidgets @0.690.0_0 $ port info p5-alien-wxwidgets p5-alien-wxwidgets @0.690.0 (perl) Replaced by: p5.26-alien-wxwidgets Sub-ports: p5.26-alien-wxwidgets, p5.28-alien-wxwidgets, p5.30-alien-wxwidgets Library Dependencies: p5.26-alien-wxwidgets So by removing p5.24-alien-wxwidgets I don't think anything will break. However any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.
