Will do, thanks.
It has always been invalid to specify anything other than a
nonnegative integer for the revision. It was a bug that
previous versions of MacPorts allowed this to happen.
And apparently more than one bugs, I remember at one time I can
use alphanumeric strings as revision, then when that was
rejected, I start use this current one.
MacPorts now correctly complains about it.
Unfortunately MacPorts did not do the proper thing to make sure
no invalid package trapped in like this, e.g. MacPorts should
refuse to update if there is any invalid entry in the registry.
I do not know how you can uninstall this port now. I have a
feeling that a similar situation has come up before; you could
search the list archives.
I did search, but only found 1-2 issues on installing, not
uninstalling, package.
You're not meant to modify this file manually, but the
registry is an SQLite 3 database located at:
/opt/local/var/macports/registry/registry.db
If you wish to examine or manipulate the database, you will
need to load the MacPorts SQLite extension into your SQLite
client. I don't remember how to do that but it's been
discussed on the list before; you can search the archives.
It's possible that changing the revision for this installed
port from this invalid revision to a valid value will allow
you to uninstall it. It's possible you would still have to
delete the installed port's tbz2 file afterward, since its
filename contains the revision.
Seems like I running out of choices, right?
Thanks!
