Summary: gettext and gnupg cannot be installed together gettext and gnupg cannot be installed together

The problem with info/dir is fixed already - though gnupg & gettext still do have common files: share/locale/locale.alias Quick fix: update your port tool and use '-f' to just overwrite the duplicates

--- Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/locale/locale.alias is being used by the active gnupg port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

duplicate files occuring more often (so far): ${prefix}/lib/charset.alias ${prefix}/share/locale/locale.alias ${prefix}/share/info/dir

Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

this is the problem "multible port wants to install the same file", images it clever and bitches about it ... its not a bug - actually the other way around would be a bug :)

so, the workaround is to use:

port -dvf install <portname>

this is basicly a duplicat of 2012
