Dependencies failed to build: apr apr-util – Macport apache

mac For some reason my apache web server stop working and i tried to reinstall it using Macport. The apache installation stop half way and show apr-util error.

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: apr apr-util

I’ve tried to clean and update the macport before install the apache. however the result still the same.

After reading the installation log, it shows the problem from

/opt/local/include/uuid.h

and this uuid.h is actually owned by postgresql83

To solve this macport dependency error from apr and apr util, follow the steps below:-

The only solution i found is to remove postgresql83.
Before remove your postgresql83, backup your postgresql database first
Then remove postgresql83 from your system using the command below:-
```
port remove postgresql83
```
Now you can install your apache again and it should be fine!
