Hello,

I wanted to check out NetSurf today on Mojave. A lot of dependencies built 
fine, but gtk3 choked. I'm in the process of creating a ticket for this, but 
the same build is still in progress on Mountain Lion, and I want to wait to see 
if it completes (started early this morning and still going; the Macmini5,2 is 
a real dog).

I always thought that I could clean up a failed build with

port -vf uninstall --follow-dependencies NetSurf

but the build failed on gtk3, and thus NetSurf is not installed.

I likely had a number of NetSurf dependencies installed already, but there are 
216 of them, and without NetSurf, many will be pointless until when or if I can 
ever successfully build NetSurf.

Does MacPorts have a way to uninstall the dependencies it installed in 
attempting to build NetSurf (or any complex port that fails to build) without 
uninstalling the dependencies that were already installed?

Will "port reclaim" catch these?

Thanks.
