Is there a way to manually edit the registry? Macports reports that ruby is installed, but it isn't. I'd like to install it. 


You can manually remove the receipt (from /opt/local/var/db/dports/ 
receipts/ruby), but you may end up with other strange problems.



In general, it's not recommended to manually mess around with the  
registry even if you're sure you know what you are doing.



$ sudo port -vd installed | grep ruby
  ruby @1.8.5-p12_0

$ sudo port -vd uninstall ruby

$ sudo port -vd installed | grep ruby
  ruby @1.8.5-p12_0


That is strange, what does `port contents ruby` say?
