Hi, i just ran a selfupdate in a system that had not been updated for awhile and got a bunch of errors (listed at the end of the message). with a quick search i found: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-tickets/2007-December/ 001608.html which seems to be pretty much the same issue i'm having. Now my question is: if I download the latest package and install it would it remove/delete the ports that i have already installed? I don't think it makes a difference for this specific question, (while it obviously does for the error) but i'm running Panther. thank you, Marco
