#8155: uninstall should properly report versions when needed ---------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ray@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: | ---------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * component: deprecated => base Old description:

I tried the following:

sh-2.05b# port uninstall perl5.8 5.8.7_0 ---> The following versons of perl5.8 are currently installed: ---> perl5.8 5.8.7_0 (active) ---> perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full version as recorded in the port registry. sh-2.05b# port uninstall perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8 ---> The following versons of perl5.8 are currently installed: ---> perl5.8 5.8.7_0 (active) ---> perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full version as recorded in the port registry. sh-2.05b#

It did not occur to me to use the syntax for versions that one sees in the "port installed" output.

This should have said:

sh-2.05b# port uninstall perl5.8 ---> The following versons of perl5.8 are currently installed: ---> perl5.8 @5.8.7_0 (active) ---> perl5.8 @5.8.8_0+darwin_8 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full version as recorded in the port registry. sh-2.05b#

Then it would have been clear what was needed.
