Uninstalling failed QGIS3 installation via MacPorts on macOS Ventura 13.3.1

Uninstalling failed QGIS3 installation via MacPorts on macOS Ventura 13.3.1

I posted a question on stackoverflow (no answer so far). ​https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77261338/uninstall-qgis-and-related-ports-with-macports

I installed qgis3 using the following command

sudo port install qgis3

. The installation looked good at first, but it seems to be incomplete or partially failed. If there is a way to view the history retroactively, then I would run that and attach it here.

I now have folders in MacPorts with the following apps:

• Python 3.11: IDLE.app, Python Launcher.app
• Qt5: Assistant.app, Designer.app, Linguist.app, pixeltool.app, qdbusviewer.app, qml.app

But no folder in Applications/QGis3

Now I wanted to uninstall it with the commands:

sudo port clean --all qgis3 
sudo port uninstall --follow-dependents qgis3

This does not work. There is no error message or any other reaction.

I hope you can help me. There is a relation to the tickets, but I don't see a complete match and couldn't follow the solutions unfortunately....

Thanks a lot!

It looks like you don't have qgis3 installed, which you can verify with port installed qgis3. That would mean the installation failed (but it looks like many of its dependencies were installed first.) Please run sudo port clean qgis3 and then sudo port install qgis3, and if the latter fails, it will print an error message with the path to a file called main.log, which you should add to this ticket as an attachment.

Looks like problem installing py-mapclassify, addressed with ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/20738

Uninstalling failed QGIS3 installation via MacPorts on macOS Ventura 13.3.1

Did you have the opportunity to try again? It should work now.

[kunterbunt23]

Sorry for the late reply. I only got around to trying it again today. Attached is the installation process of QGIS. Towards the end there are some error messages again. I have not yet installed any more of the ports mentioned in the process (see code block). You can also find the file main.log in the original ticket above.

--->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:
  ffmpeg has the following notes:
    Support for rav1e now disabled by default; enable via +rav1e
    This build of ffmpeg includes GPLed code and is therefore licensed under GPL
    v2 or later. The following modules are GPLed:
      libvidstab libx264 libx265 libxvid postproc
    To include all nonfree, GPLed and LGPL code use variant +nonfree. To remove
    nonfree and GPLed code leaving only LGPL code remove the +gpl2 variant.
  kealib has the following notes:
    To be able to use KEA format in GDAL, set and export (or setenv) the
    variable GDAL_DRIVER_PATH to /opt/local/lib/gdalplugins.
  leveldb has the following notes:
    Before version 1.23 leveldb has RTTI and a lot of code uses typeid. Version
    1.23 disables RTTI which lead to broken things from plyvel to ceph. We
    re-enable RTTI by default, if you wish to disable it switch off rtti variant
    by:
       port upgrade --enforce-variants leveldb -rtti
    Before version 1.21 leveldb exposed helpers/memenv/memenv.h and some code
    uses it. Version 1.21 prevent that which lead to broken things like
    qtwebkit. We re-enable exposing memenv by default, if you wish to disable it
    switch off memenv variant by:
       port upgrade --enforce-variants leveldb -memenv
  opencv4 has the following notes:
    * opencv4 binaries are now prefixed with 'opencv4_', to prevent conflicts
    with other OpenCV-related ports.
    * Python bindings are now implemented via subports 'pyXX-opencv4', to
    support multiple Python versions side-by-side.
  py311-cython has the following notes:
    To make the Python 3.11 version of Cython the one that is run when you
    execute the commands without a version suffix, e.g. 'cython', run:
    
    port select --set cython cython311
  py311-fonttools has the following notes:
    To make the Python 3.11 version of fonttools the one that is run when you
    execute the commands without a version suffix, e.g. 'fonttools', run:
    
        sudo port select --set fonttools fonttools-311
  py311-ipython has the following notes:
    To make this the default IPython or IPython3 (i.e., the version run by the
    'ipython' or 'ipython3' commands), run one or both of:
    
        sudo port select --set ipython py311-ipython
        sudo port select --set ipython3 py311-ipython
  py311-matplotlib has the following notes:
    The default backend is the interactive Mac OS X backend. Different backends
    can be specified using the ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file. More details
    regarding backends can be found in the matplotlib FAQ:
    
            https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/backends.html
  py311-nbconvert has the following notes:
    * To convert markdown to formats other than HTML, nbconvert uses pandoc.
    Install it by running:
      sudo port install pandoc
    * To convert notebooks to PDF, nbconvert makes use of LaTeX and the XeTeX as
    the rendering engine. Install it by running:
      sudo port install texlive-xetex
  py311-pygments has the following notes:
    To make the Python 3.11 version of Pygments the one that is run when you
    execute the commands without a version suffix, e.g. 'pygmentize', run:
    
    port select --set pygments py311-pygments
  py311-sip has the following notes:
    py311-sip is available under a PSF license with one addition: 
    
        4. Licensee may not use SIP to generate Python bindings for any C or
           C++ library for which bindings are already provided by Riverbank. 
    
    GPL-2 or GPL-3 licenses are also available. For details see
    /opt/local/share/doc/py311-sip/LICENSE [-GPL2 -GPL3]
  py311-sympy has the following notes:
    To make the Python 3.11 version of py-sympy the one that is run when you
    execute the commands without a version suffix, e.g. 'isympy', run:
    
    port select --set py-sympy py311-sympy
  python311 has the following notes:
    To make this the default Python or Python 3 (i.e., the version run by the
    'python' or 'python3' commands), run one or both of:
    
        sudo port select --set python python311
        sudo port select --set python3 python311
  qgis3 has the following notes:
    Some QGIS plugins may fail with error message noting missing PyQt5.QtWebKit
    module, this could be solved by manually installing the module with e.g.
    `sudo port install py311-pyqt5 +webkit` (just make sure you use the same
    Python version for py-pyqt5 as for the QGIS Python bindings).
  rsgislib has the following notes:
    Install a Python sub-port to install Python bindings, for available
    sub-ports see: 'port info --subports rsgislib'.
  shared-mime-info has the following notes:
    A startup item has been generated that will start shared-mime-info with
    launchd, and will be enabled automatically on activation. Execute the
    following command to manually _disable_ it:
    
        sudo port unload shared-mime-info

Thanks for the help! What is the best way to proceed now?

Replying to jmroot:

It looks like you don't have qgis3 installed, which you can verify with port installed qgis3. That would mean the installation failed (but it looks like many of its dependencies were installed first.) Please run sudo port clean qgis3 and then sudo port install qgis3, and if the latter fails, it will print an error message with the path to a file called main.log, which you should add to this ticket as an attachment.

I added the file main.log to the original Ticket.

Please try the following:

sudo port clean qgis3
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port install qgis3

If the installation fails again, attach the main.log file.

(And please avoid posting such a long log "in-page", as in comment 5).

Sorry, will not happen again. I have installed QGIS and was able to launch it. During the startup process, warnings and error messages appeared (see screenshot).

No worries, just difficult to follow the discussion with such obstacles :)

That's great! Seems you have a plugin which is in need of the python module future. Try installing it with sudo port install py311-future.

Done. Got another Error Message. I will add it too. Could there be a connection with the PlugIn UMEP?

Second Error Message

Actually, I still wanted to switch to the stable long-term version. Is that "just like that" or do I have to uninstall the current version and reinstall everything?

No, that one is a completely different issue, see #67844. Probably nothing to worry about.

Yes you have to uninstall qgis3 and then install qgis3-ltr. Now with all dependencies in place, that shouldn't be any problem.

[kunterbunt23]

I will try it out. Thanks!

Error trough starting QGIS3 LTR

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

The latest error indicates there are more python modules missing for that plugin. Unfortunately the SuPy is not available as port (yet). I'll see what I can do. In the mean time you could deactivate/uninstall the plugin.
