Description

OS: macOS Sierra 10.12 MacPorts 2.3.4 installed using the Sierra-specific pkg.

port rdependents perl5.22 showed me this listing:

The following ports are dependent on perl5.22:
  p5.22-authen-sasl
  p5.22-cgi
  p5.22-digest-hmac
  p5.22-digest-sha1
  p5.22-encode-locale
    p5.22-http-message
      p5.22-html-form
        p5.22-libwww-perl
          p5.22-xml-parser
      p5.22-http-cookies
      p5.22-http-daemon
      p5.22-http-negotiate

    p5.22-io-socket-inet6
  p5.22-io-html
  p5.22-io-socket-ip
  p5.22-io-socket-ssl
    p5.22-lwp-protocol-https
    p5.22-net-http
    p5.22-net-smtp-ssl
  p5.22-locale-gettext
  p5.22-lwp-mediatypes
  p5.22-mime-base64
    p5.22-uri
      p5.22-www-robotrules
  p5.22-mozilla-ca
  p5.22-net-libidn
  p5.22-net-ssleay
  p5.22-pathtools
  p5.22-scalar-list-utils

    p5.22-test-warn
  p5.22-term-readkey
  p5.22-test-deep
  p5.22-test-nowarnings

The issue may have been that this loop assumes that the identifiers refer to the same registry entries across the uninstall operation, which potentially deletes and opens multiple entries: https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/v2.3.4/src/registry2.0/portuninstall.tcl#L123

That assumption should actually hold after [fc212a0b550ed961d07c261c715ca83580deac56/macports-base], so this may have been fixed incidentally.

For some reason this command does not work at all for me. It only uninstalls a port being specified, leaving dependents broken but installed:

svacchanda@Sergeys-MacBook-Air ~ % sudo port uninstall --follow-dependents R-CRAN-recommended
The following versions of R-CRAN-recommended are currently installed:
 1) R-CRAN-recommended @1.0.0_0
 2) R-CRAN-recommended @1.0.0_1 (active)
