Comment(by mcalhoun@…):
Unfortunately, I am not an expert in the dependency tracking part of the
MacPorts code,[[BR]]
but there are two more things we can try:
We might be running into a know
[ProblemHotlist#Inactiveportcantberemovedeventhoughanewerversionisinstalled
problem] in MacPorts 1.6.[[BR]]
If this is the case, then we try their solution
{{{
port -f uninstall perl5
port install lablgtk2
}}}
If you get sick of trying these things, the brute force solution is to
reinstall MacPorts, install perl5.8, and then install lablgtk2.
The essence of this problem is that we are trying to transition from perl5
to perl5.8 to install /opt/local/bin/perl, and there have been a few
problems along the way.[[BR]]
See ##16830 for more details.
