#140 closed defect (fixed)

missing/changed files on uninstall should be a warning

Description

at times two ports will install the same file, one on top of the other. when trying to uninstall both ports, one of the two will fail because a file registered cannot be found. this seems a bit overly restrictive and does not allow for any possible overlap...

more importantly it should not fail the entire uninstall process. if it does, the receipt gets left behind even if all files but a single config file in ${prefix}/etc are removed. then if the user attempts to install a port that depends on this port, it will assume the port is fully installed, when in fact it is almost entirely uninstalled...

orphaned receipts can be a total pain in the arse.

This bug seems to be fixed: no error happens when a file has been removed/modified.
