It does exist, but it won't help you in this case, since the command will just fail. If you want to remove both, use port -N uninstall installed and gimp3 You can replace 'installed' with 'inactive' if you want to only uninstall the inactive version. If you run the port(1) command but its stdout or stdin are not connected to a terminal, you get non-interactive mode (-N) by default. > And before you say: "try it", it's on a ci system so a little harder > to try, and really, I want a way to understand all the available > flags.

Example port > install -N gimp3 does not apply the flag but doesn't error. The general rule is that single-letter flags go after 'port' and everything else goes the command. HTH, Clemens
