Impossible to uninstall octave

[mmacho@…]

Trying to uninstall octave

sudo port uninstall octave

told to me that I had two octaves (one test]) and another and I should indicate the "registry" version..

but where is that registry version?

I couldn't find that reference in any list of installed ports... Finally I needed to remove the /opt whole tree.

The uninstall command printed out a list of the port it thought were installed. The registry version is the string that follow the port name, including the leading "@". For example, you can get the same information from the "port installed" command:

crossroads-able> port installed ghc The following ports are currently installed:

ghc @6.4.2_1+darwin_8 (active)

crossroads-able>

The "registry version" is the string "@6.4.2_1+darwin_8". The last entry, "(active)" means that this port is the active version. (See the man page for more information about "activate" and "deactivate".)

I have reclassified this to a documentation bug.
