p5.26-libapreq2 and mod_perl2 morass

[Murray Eisenberg]

I’m trying to upgrade perl-related ports from perl 5.24 to perl 5.26.  

When I executed...

    sudo port install p5.26-libapreq2

...I got message...

   The following dependencies will be installed: 
  mod_perl2
  p5.26-extutils-xsbuilder

…and I proceeded. Got messages:

    Error: Failed to activate mod_perl2: Image error: /opt/local/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so already exists and does not belong to a registered   
  port.  Unable to activate port mod_perl2. Use 'port -f activate mod_perl2' to force the activation.

Proceeded, I tried:

   sudo port -f activate mod_perl2

Got message:

    The following versions of mod_perl2 are currently installed:
     1) mod_perl2 @2.0.10_0+perl5_24
    2) mod_perl2 @2.0.10_1+perl5_24

GotBut I didn’t want the+perl5_24 variant of mod_perl2 now, since the idea is to upgrade to perl 5.26.
So I aborted.

Next, tried...

   sudo port uninstall mod_perl2 @2.0.10_0+perl5_24

 …with resulting message steps:

    Note: It is not recommended to uninstall/deactivate a port that has dependents as it breaks the dependents.
    The following ports will break: p5.24-libapreq2 @2.130.0_5
    Continue? [y/N]: y
    Warning: Uninstall forced.  Proceeding despite dependencies.
    --->  Uninstalling mod_perl2 @2.0.10_0+perl5_24
    --->  Cleaning mod_perl2

Now I tried again...

   sudo port install p5.26-libapreq2

… with result:

    --->  Computing dependencies for p5.26-libapreq2
  The following dependencies will be installed: 
  mod_perl2
  p5.26-extutils-xsbuilder
  Continue? [Y/n]: y
   …
   --->  Activating mod_perl2 @2.0.10_1+perl5_24

  port.  Unable to activate port mod_perl2. Use 'port -f activate mod_perl2' to force the activation.
  …
  Error: Processing of port p5.26-libapreq2 failed

How do I proceed??

Here’s what the end of the … mod_perl2/main.log :
