pfaedit fixed, now onto maxima errors: msg#00631

Subject: pfaedit fixed, now onto maxima errors
Hello and thank you for your assistance. I do not know how many of you were following the pfaedit woes on the list for the past week+, but I managed to get it installed by clearing out many .xxx files and directories that were put there by having the same software installed from Fink. I do not know if that will help anyone in the future, but it is still worth noting. I have tried to install maxima now, and I am getting the error that DP thinks it is already installed.

Error: Target com.apple.install returned: Another version of Port maxima is already registered as installed. Please uninstall the port first.

Maxima is no longer present on this machine, so I do not know why it is giving me this error. The only thing I can think of is that there is some file from before that has been left when I uninstalled Fink. However, upon searching, I have not found anything. If anyone could help out, I would be very grateful. Thanks again. Oh, below my signature line, I will include what ports I do have installed, as it may shed light on how to fix it.
