ORBit/GConf problem

[Pete Crite]

Well, I ran "sudo port upgrade outdated" and *did* keep a record of  
all the instructions.

I followed the instructions for d-bus which were:
# A startup item has been generated that will aid in
# starting dbus with launchd. It is disabled
# by default. Execute the following command to start it,
# and to cause it to launch at startup:
#
# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dbus.plist


I also had issues with gtk2, gwenhywfar3, and aqbanking3 (although  
either of the first two might be associated with non-gnucash  
programs?). For all of these, I deactivated the port mentioned in the  
error message, then installed the new port.

For example, I got the error "Error: Activating aqbanking3 3.7.1_0  
failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/aqbanking-config is being used by  
the active aqbanking port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use  
the -f flag to force the activation." I then ran "sudo port deactivate  
aqbanking" then "sudo port install aqbanking3."

I don't think the ports are considered "installed" until you install  
them fully. i.e. running "port outdated" will only say you are up to  
date after you manually deactivate/install the ports. Hence, I think  
the problem is unrelated to these installation "difficulties."

Cheers.
