No, it is not. > Is `-f' supposed to actually work? Yes. It works. But it does not do what you expected. According to the man page -f is for force mode. When uninstalling a port that has dependents (not dependencies), port will stop if you don't use the -f switch. If you force the uninstall, it will render the dependents unworking, but it will uninstall however. % port uninstall ncurses ---> Unable to uninstall ncurses 5.6_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> gettext ---> cmus Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on ncurses first. % port -f uninstall ncurses ---> Unable to uninstall ncurses 5.6_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> gettext ---> cmus Warning: Uninstall forced. Proceeding despite dependencies. ---> Deactivating ncurses @5.6_0 ---> Uninstalling ncurses @5.6_0 And I no longer have ncurses. (and cmus does not work anymore as I predicted).
