you probably didn't need the -f Since you wanted to have the 2010 version active, you could have done sudo port uninstall textlive-common @2009_1 and then sudo port activate textlive-common (as there would only be one installed at that point, so it would be unambiguous) If you wanted to keep 2009_1 around (so you can switch back and fort quickly), you could have just deactivated it and activated 2010_1: sudo port deactivate textlive-common @2009_1 sudo port activate textlive_common @2010_1 -- Daniel J.
