1. What is the syntax for finding all installed ports whose name contains "tex"? Will this include both active and inactive ports? I tried port search installed tex, but I think it treated both "installed" and "tex" as search strings. 2. How do I uninstall a whole lot of ports simultaneously? And does uninstall include removing all the associated bits and pieces, like the dist files?
When I try "sudo port uninstall texlive", the system replies Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: texlive not registered as installed. Nevertheless there are huge numbers of files in /opt/local with "texlive" as part of the path name. What is the procedure for finding out the names involving "texlive" which ARE registered as installed? Once I know that, I want to find out how to use a regex to uninstall all of them simultaneously. Thanks for any help.
