Description
Uninstalling a deactivated port, even while another version is active, port still checks for dependencies as if it were active. As a result I can't simply say "port uninstall inactive" without the dangers of forcing it.
Here's an example attempting to uninstall a deactive version of bison.
$ port uninstall bison ---> The following versions of bison are currently installed: ---> bison @2.2_0 ---> bison @2.3_0 (active) Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full version as recorded in the port registry.
$ port uninstall bison@2.2_0 ---> Unable to uninstall bison 2.2_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> gpg-agent ---> gpg-agent Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on bison first.
$ port info gpg-agent gpg-agent 2.0.3, security/gpg-agent (Variants: universal, darwin, darwin_7, no_pinentry) http://www.gnupg.org
gpg-agent is a key management agent similar in function to ssh-agent.
