Hmmm, I did the following:

# port install gtk2
[...]
--->  Activating gtk2 2.14.3_2+x11
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: Another version of this port (gtk2 @2.14.3_1+x11) is already active.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

# port uninstall gtk2 @2.14.3_1+x11
--->  Deactivating gtk2 2.14.3_1+x11
--->  Uninstalling gtk2 2.14.3_1+x11

# port install gtk2
--->  Activating gtk2 2.14.3_2+x11
--->  Cleaning gtk2

and that just went through fine, without any complains.

Then I searched for gail

# port installed | grep gail

without any hit.

Then I tried to install dia again:

# port install dia
--->  Building dia with target all
--->  Staging dia into destroot
--->  Installing dia 0.96.1_0
--->  Activating dia 0.96.1_0
--->  Cleaning dia

AND IT WORKS!!!! :-D

Once again: Thank you!!!

Cheers,
