Program updates says Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.0 is available

Hello,

Today I upgraded from Sequila to Tahoe. After the upgrade I have in System settings/ Program updates a notification as described in title.

Previously I used Macports in Sequila and therefore installed Xcode and command line tools. When I removed Macports I also removed Xcode. I also deleted the folder /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools. Now I do not have any need for Xcode command line tools.

I tried a safe reboot with no effect.

How do I get rid of that update notification?

Thanks

Hello,

The directory "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools" was not present. I installed command line tools in program updates. Now the directory was there. I deleted the directory. The update notification is gone.

Uninstall command line tools

Did you ask the Macports people since they are the ones that put it there in the first place? The command line tools don’t just exist in a folder in the GUI.
