Sorry, I can't get used to not directly hit reply instead of first selecting the macports-users...... mail address.

It broke in such a way that MacPorts can't pick it up and that's why it is saying: Please perform 'port clean php5'. If you do a clean it will remove all fases (in this case: remove the mess) of the process. After the "sudo port clean <portname>", you can do a normal, regular "port -v install php5 +macosx+apache2+mysql5+postgresql81" without the force setting. Harry
