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

I tried the -f flag and it did not work. I also looked through the Port man page and didn't see anything else that looked like it would work here. Any suggestions?

This is a design problem with the way receipt names are handled in HEAD. It was the motivation for Port Images. port thinks maxima is installed because maxima-lisp is installed.

However, we cannot switch to Port Images yet because it would bring more problems than what it would fix.

I think you can force the installation with -f
