Oh, I see I missed the brackets. :/

Well, after fixing this I tried again and finally have to realise that my pre-activate phase doesn’t seem
to get called at all:

---
pre-activate {
    ui_warn "pre-activate::start"
    foreach file {[glob ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/]} {
        set filepath ${prefix}/${file}
        ui_warn "Found residual file ${filepath}"
        if {[file exists ${filepath}] && [registry_file_registered ${filepath}] == "0"} {
            ui_warn "Deleting residual file ${filepath}"
            file delete -force $filepath
        }
    }
    ui_warn "pre-activate::end”
}
---

as you can see here:

---

At least I can’t spot those ui_warn messages as you can see above. :(
