I don’t know if there are any ready made interfaces between tcl and popular fuzzers, though. Perhaps one could be of use to MacPorts. I don’t have any time to offer to mess with that so this is merely to document my thoughts. Cheers, Kuba

That worked, thanks!
I added the weird subport as you said, and then
sudo port uninstall sheepshaver\*
cleaned it out.
Much appreciated.

No luck with either -- thanks for suggestion.

Well, that's unfortunate. We probably shouldn't allow port names that
parseFullPortSpec doesn't recognise as such. (Or add a syntax to
explicitly specify name,version,revision,variants separately and
unambiguously.)
This particular case at least isn't possible in master any more, since
specifying nonexistent subports causes an error.
If you add the mistake-name to the index, you should be able to select
it for uninstallation with an expression like "installed and
sheepshaver\*". Just need to add
subport sheepshaver=gui {}
to the portfile and run portindex.

Re: I did something stupid and now can't uninstall a port
Just a couple shell things to try: Have you tried using single quotes around the portname? How about using a double hyphen before portname e.g. `-- portname`?

I did something stupid and now can't uninstall a port
I have a port I'm working on, with a gui subport: sheepshaver sheepshaver-gui I accidentally made a typo installing the subport, and I typed this: sudo port -v install subport=sheepshaver=gui now I have a port installed like this: $ port -v installed | grep sheep sheepshaver=gui @20171215_0 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2017-12-19T16:50:16-0800' and I can't uninstall it: $ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver=gui (does nothing) $ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver (does nothing) $ port -v installed | grep sheep sheepshaver=gui @20171215_0 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2017-12-19T16:50:16-0800' I can't seem to uninstall, deactivate, or otherwise work with this port. If I install sheepshaver, and then try to $ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver=gui it uninstalls sheepshaver, but leaves sheepshaver=gui behind. Weirdness. Ken
