MacPorts update issue

[ihhub]

One user reports that they cannot update fheroes2 via macPorts:

I have tried "sudo port upgrade fheroes2", "sudo port install fheroes2" and "sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade fheroes2".
It just keeps saying...

--->  Computing dependencies for fheroes2
--->  Cleaning fheroes2
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
--->  No broken files found.
--->  No broken ports found.

Hi @oleg-derevenetz , could you please help with solving this issue with MacPorts? Maybe something trivial is missed.

[oleg-derevenetz]

He should update the ports tree first using the port selfupdate command.

P.S. To be honest, I don't understand exactly what the problem is. According to the output above, fheroes2 has already been updated to the latest version, so there is simply nothing to do for the port upgrade command.

Hi @oleg-derevenetz. I have done the "port selfupdate" command. "sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade fheroes2" still doesn't do anything. Terminal still launches 0.9.14. Not sure what to do next. Thanks.

Hi @JamonBull

Hmm, works for me:

Sure thing! Thanks for taking the time.

"The following ports are currently installed:
fheroes2 @0.9.13_0
fheroes2 @0.9.14_0
fheroes2 @0.9.15_0 (active)"

But when I type "fheroes2" to launch the game, it launches 0.9.14. Strange!

@JamonBull

But when I type "fheroes2" to launch the game, it launches 0.9.14. Strange!

It looks like you have it installed somewhere else from the another source. How about the output of the following command:

which fheroes2

?

[oleg-derevenetz]

@JamonBull Hmm, the Portfile looks good. What about the result of the following command:

port installed fheroes2

?

[JamonBull]

"/opt/homebrew/bin/fheroes2"

Aha! So how do I get rid of that?

[oleg-derevenetz]

@JamonBull it looks like you have both Homebrew and MacPorts on your system. Probably you should uninstall the version installed through Homebrew (something like brew uninstall fheroes2) and use just the version from MacPorts. In general, the idea of having several different package managers at the same time is not the best, it is better to choose only one package manager and stick to it.

[JamonBull]

This worked! Thank you so much. All sorted now. Running the latest version through MacPorts.
