 > As was said earlier, the latest version of the db_select port (from two
 years ago) automatically removes any symlinks that using `port select db
 ...` left behind. So if you have db_select @0.1_3 installed but somehow
 still have those symlinks, you could remove them by re-installing
 db_select to get it to run its automatic cleanup again (`sudo port -n
 upgrade --force db_select`). Once it's cleaned up, you can uninstall
 db_select.

 I tried to invoke that command. Before I had deactivated and uninstalled
 both db46 and 48:

 Is it OK to attach db48's main.log file here or should I start a new case?
