I made the stupid mistake of removing some registry (ie, receipt) files, so
now I get
[ m...@xxx ~/ports ]$ port installed
Error: port installed failed: list must have an even number of elements
No ports are installed.
I ran a few port uninstall commands and then checked that the ports were not
installed, but
port installed | grep <portname>
continued to indicate that the ports were installed (see my other list post
on that topic). I should like 'port installed' to indicate that a port is
no longer installed after running 'port uninstall <port>'. So I started to
read up on how to remove the receipts using the API somehow, but I couldn't
do that and I did just removed the files. Lesson learned, but now it needs
to be fixed - how can I regenerate the registry?
FYI:
[ m...@xxx ~/ports ]$ port -d installed
DEBUG: list must have an even number of elements
while executing
"array set receipt_$ref $receipt_contents"
