Simple enough: I uninstalled a couple of packages, in particular,

Port claimed to have uninstalled both without error, problems, etc.
However, nothing was uninstalled. All of the files for both
packages are
still there.
So, I tried re-installing both.
That failed, because the same files were already in place.
I next re-installed, using the '-f' switch to force it.
Lots of file renames, and port re-installed the package. I
deleted the
renamed files.
I then tried to uninstall the package. Same deal as before -- files
which should have been deleted weren't.
Has anybody seen this behavior and/or have an idea what I need to
do to
uninstall these packages?
(the thought already occured to me to make a list of the 'renamed'
files,
edit the list so it's the original filenames, then 'cat list |
xargs rm') But
I'd rather macports do it properly.
Have you tried uninstalling using the case-sensitive portname? I
don't
have time to look right now, but I think there is a bug filed on
this. I
think you can install without matching the case, but when you
ininstall
without matching the case it doesn't work correctly.
Right. You must say "port uninstall TeTeX", not "port uninstall
tetex". This is the bug:
