port uninstall mplayer doens't remove any files

[liontooth@…]

Uninstalling mplayer doesn't actually remove any of the files:

Uninstalling mplayer 1.0rc2_0+aa+caca+dts+dv+faac+macosx+sdl+speex+theora+twolame+x264+xvid

When the update tries to activate, I get

--->  Activating MPlayer 1.0rc2_2+aa+caca+darwin_8+dts+dv+faac+macosx+sdl+speex+theora+twolame+x264+xvid
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/mencoder already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port MPlayer.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

When I force-activate the update, all the files are still there:

# port -f activate MPlayer

... and so on for several pages. Removing the files manually resolves the problem.

Seen on OSX 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.

Known bug, already filed as #11759.

As a workaround, you have to specify the exact casing.

# port uninstall MPlayer
