BUG: port uninstall can't resolve dependencies

Reported by: namely_void@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: High Milestone: MacPorts base bugs
Component: base Version:
Keywords: Cc: ezra.story@…
Port:

Description

Doing a "port uninstall installed" cannot resolve dependencies and uninstall "from the top down" as it should. Instead, it aborts on the first port that has dependant ports.

  • milestone changed from MacPorts 1.4 to Needs developer review

This is one of the many shortcomings of our dependency engine, so the ticket has no place in the 1.4 milestone which is less than two days away. Setting to "needs dev review" so that discussion on it places it elsewhere, but in short I don't see this being fixed without a major rework of our deps engine.
