What I meant is that there was version 17 of android, installed by MacPorts.

The android manager updated itself and added/changed many files in its install directory.

Then I installed virtual machines with this version which were stored in the user's home directory.

Then the MacPorts update to version 18 was trying to install automagically, which left after uninstall of version 17 all the newly installed files in said java directory behind. That's why the install of 18 failed in the last phase.

My problem began when I realized that after wiping the java directory and finalizing the install of version 18 my virtual machines couldn't be accessed properly anymore…

But who knows, perhaps I am just missing something. Perhaps it's possible to resurrect them even if the android sdk gets upgraded.
