Comment(by ryandesign@…):
The process for returning to a previous version of a port is documented in
the wiki page [wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort howto/InstallingOlderPort].
It sounds like the issue can be reduced to glib2 did not activate, because
there was a conflicting file. I don't know why there was a conflicting
file; the file it mentions is a part of glib2 and should have been
registered to the previous version of glib2, just as it is now registered
to the current version of glib2. Unless you want to investigate this
further, you should force the activation with
{{{
sudo port -f activate glib2 @2.26.1_1
}}}
to force MacPorts to move the conflicting files out of the way.
The reason having Fink and MacPorts installed at the same time is not
supported is that software installed with Fink can cause unexpected
failures building software with MacPorts. "Not supported" means it might
work, but we can't help you if it doesn't. I strongly recommend you decide
whether to use MacPorts or Fink, and uninstall the other. If the reason
you were using Fink is that it has software you need that is not in
MacPorts, you can file port request tickets in our issue tracker; maybe we
can add that software to MacPorts.
