No luck with either -- thanks for suggestion.

We probably shouldn't allow port names that parseFullPortSpec doesn't recognise as such. (Or add a syntax to explicitly specify name,version,revision,variants separately and unambiguously.) This particular case at least isn't possible in master any more, since specifying nonexistent subports causes an error. If you add the mistake-name to the index, you should be able to select it for uninstallation with an expression like "installed and sheepshaver\*". Just need to add subport sheepshaver=gui {} to the portfile and run portindex. - Josh
Re: I did something stupid and now can't uninstall a port
Just a couple shell things to try: Have you tried using single quotes around the portname? How about using a double hyphen before portname e.g. `-- portname`?

I did something stupid and now can't uninstall a port
I have a port I'm working on, with a gui subport: sheepshaver sheepshaver-gui I accidentally made a typo installing the subport, and I typed this: sudo port -v install subport=sheepshaver=gui now I have a port installed like this: $ port -v installed | grep sheep sheepshaver=gui @20171215_0 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2017-12-19T16:50:16-0800' and I can't uninstall it: $ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver=gui (does nothing) $ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver (does nothing) $ port -v installed | grep sheep sheepshaver=gui @20171215_0 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2017-12-19T16:50:16-0800' I can't seem to uninstall, deactivate, or otherwise work with this port. If I install sheepshaver, and then try to $ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver=gui it uninstalls sheepshaver, but leaves sheepshaver=gui behind. Weirdness. Ken
