    I'm trying to do a port upgrade outdated, but it stops on a package conflict that I'm not able to fix.

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    sudo port upgrade outdated
--->  Computing dependencies for subversion-perlbindings-5.16
Error: Unable to exec port: Can't install subversion-perlbindings-5.16 because 
conflicting ports are installed: subversion-perlbindings-5.12

    I prefer brew: http://brew.sh

    There are tutorials like this teaching how to port from macports to homebrew.

    osx - Installing gnuplot from MacPorts failed (Checksum Mismacth)

    I have OSX 10.5 and tried to sudo port install gnuplot, only to get this:

    --->  Computing dependencies for gnuplot
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for gnuplot
Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for gnuplot.pdf
Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for gnuplot.pdf
Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for gnuplot.pdf

    I don't care whether gnuplot.pdf has a checksum mismatch, it's not part of the executables... how do I get around this? I can't seem to re-download or uninstall either.

    I did

    sudo port -d selfupdate
sudo port clean gnuplot
sudo port install gnuplot

    and that fixed it.
