Description
I am trying to debug/modify an existing portfile, to fix some outstanding bugs. When I attempt to use the modified portfile, at the end of the install, I get:
---> The following versions of ikiwiki are currently installed: ---> ikiwiki @3.20100831_1.1+perl5_10 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Registry error: Invalid version specified. Please specify a version as recorded in the port registry. Log for ikiwiki is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_Users_eychaner_ports_www_ikiwiki/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
How do I update the port registry? I did a "portindex" on my ports directory. I couldn't find anything useful about this in the MacPorts guide.

No, it wouldn't let me install (well, activate) it in the first place. At the activation stage, it gave the error. Once I changed the revision back to an integer, it worked fine. My mistake, really, though the error message is non-helpful (and the lack of validation of the value during portindex is annoying).

Ok, so you could install it, but not activate it. Could you uninstall it?
We should certainly add a lint warning for noninteger revisions. I'm not certain whether anything should be done at portindex time.

Actually, I don't know whether I could uninstall it. I was just testing, so I rsync'd from the backup copy. I wasn't actually sure what went wrong at the time.

There is a lint warning already. Would be nice to catch this at runtime well before the activation stage.

So you're saying you modified the ikiwiki portfile to include a noninteger revision, and MacPorts let you install it, but it won't let you uninstall it?
