If dependencies are outdated, they must be upgraded first. If this breaks other ports, then probably those other ports need to be rebuilt as well. If those other ports don't already show up in the output of port outdated and you've already run sudo port selfupdate, then this is probably a bug that you should file a bug report about. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

For most users, uninstall and deactivate are effectively the same thing. Sure, I wasn't trying to make a distinction about that. I was trying to say that installing a port should not uninstall (or deactivate) another port. But below you've found an exception to that: With that in mind, I know in some packages are deactivated during an install because a given files may be installed by a different package in separate versions of the package. If you don't remove the other package first, you'll run into an error where a file is already installed by another package. This happens in various category:textproc and category:kde4 packages (pdfjam comes to mind as one that uninstalls texlive-bin-extra). Ah yes. pdfjam does use the so-called deactivate hack, an unusual situation which does leave another port deactivated. As the comment in the port explains: # texlive-bin-extra used to contain pdfjam, but doesn't # anymore. If the old version is installed, deactivate it to avoid # a conflict. So, if you had an old version of texlive-bin-extra installed (one that provided pdfjam), and then you try to install the standalone pdfjam port, it will deactivate your old texlive-bin-extra for you to avoid a conflict that you would then manually have to resolve. You will also have to upgrade texlive-bin-extra to the newer version that does not provide its own copy of pdfjam anymore. Often, people run sudo port upgrade outdated, to upgrade all outdated ports at once, which should avoid any problems. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

You should get into the habit of always quoting any metacharacters you

SIngle quotes prevent all expansion including the quoting behavior of \ ;

There is a binary for an older version available from download at http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/download.html, but that is an out of date version. It talks about how to use a different package manager to compile, but that one uses /usr/local (which is a disaster waiting for MacPorts). There's info on the web saying that you can get a working binary of Avidemux on 10.7 by taking avidemux2.app, removing the included libraries that do not work on 10.7, and letting the system's version of those libraries be used -- but I can't find an up to date version of avidemux2.app to do that trick with.
