I had to configure and and build again, the sources were already clean
I wasn't aware that MacPorts runs distclean. It might just be the next rsync that deletes the configuration data, though.
and it seems that the uninstall jobs had been executed despite the error messages. Uninstall now works quite silently.
Yes. On uninstall, the Portfiles are only loaded to execute possible `pre /post-deactivate` jobs, but even if that fails the removal continues. Glad you could solve the issue. I'm not sure that's something we should build into MacPorts to detect, as it's probably '''very''' uncommon. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43859#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
