2.0.0 port -u command fails

[wiarda@…]

Since updating to 2.0.0 by selfupdate my port -u upgrade outdated fails to install more than one outdated port. It dies on:

--->  Uninstalling cairo @1.10.2_3
Error: Uninstall cairo @1.10.2_3 failed: error deleting "/opt/local/var/macports/software/cairo/1.10.2_3": directory not empty

Clean everything.

sudo port clean all

If any port fails to clean with a message about a directory it can't delete, delete the directory manually.

Did your selfupdate actually succeed, or did it fail at the very end while trying to convert your images? Show the output of

sudo port -df selfupdate

Thanks for that amazingly fast response. It worked and the outdated files are now uninstalled and cleaned. I attached the output of the forced selfupdate in case it is of use; I guess the original installation failed and I didn't notice.

Hmm, OK. It would be nice to find out why it failed the first time, but I guess we'll never know.

Just an FYI, I've come across a similar problem after a selfupdate to 2.0.0 and upgrade on an otherwise rather normal/lightly used 1.9.2 MacPorts. After the upgrade and selfupdate, running 'port uninstall inactive' gives a 'directory not empty' error for every package. After re-running selfupdate w/ the '-df' flags, this was fixed. It seems there are a few people having similar issues post 2.0 upgrade, like #30311
