#140 closed defect (fixed)
missing/changed files on uninstall should be a warning

Description
at times two ports will install the same file, one on top of the other. when trying to uninstall both ports, one of the two will fail because a file registered cannot be found. this seems a bit overly restrictive and does not allow for any possible overlap...

This bug seems to be fixed: no error happens when a file has been removed/modified.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using

more importantly it should not fail the entire uninstall process. if it does, the receipt gets left behind even if all files but a single config file in ${prefix}/etc are removed. then if the user attempts to install a port that depends on this port, it will assume the port is fully installed, when in fact it is almost entirely uninstalled...
orphaned receipts can be a total pain in the arse.
