#56757 new defect

reclaim removed my ports without asking

Description

I just ran sudo port reclaim successfully for the first time on my main system. (The last time I tried to run it, it encountered an error.)

It immediately uninstalled 941 ports, which surprised me. I don't understand why the ports were immediately removed, without asking me, since man port-reclaim states "No files are removed initially, until the user selects them from the provided list."

Do you have 

# Whether the user interface should ask interactive questions
#ui_interactive         yes

set to "no" ?

Replying to kencu:

Do you have 

# Whether the user interface should ask interactive questions
#ui_interactive         yes

set to "no" ?

Yes. I do not want to constantly be asked whether I would like to install dependencies. I always want to install dependencies. I want installing ports to work the way it did before the interactive UI feature was added.

Was there any suggestions on how to fix this or is this just the way it is now (ui_interactive applies to all questions)?

I'm not aware of any work on improving this. I still use ui_interactive no, and I don't use reclaim.
