Fwd: Port fails to install as image. Problem with cleaning the registry.

[C. Florian Ebeling]

Darren, are you running trunk? What is the output of

 port installed postgresql83-server

I can't given much detailed information on reproduction right now, but
I had somewhat similar
problems recently on trunk. I saw multiple active versions of the same
port, without many unusual
port commands. Feels like we had some regression and uninstall does
not always work
properly anylonger. We should watch this.
