I am trying this regime: sudo port -f uninstall libtool
sudo port -f uninstall apr
sudo port install libtool
sudo port install apr
sudo port clean apache2
sudo port upgrade apache2

port -f overrides any complaints (on your #3 above).

if peter o'gorman's diagnosis above is correct, how can this be fixed in a
