 The situation is unfortunately not as clear as it would be in a perfect
 buggy world ...  I will give what I
 have observed because this behaviour are not easy to repoduce

 I run HEAD on 10.4.2 with Xcode 2.1

 I uninstalled many ports on friday and saturday and found out that many
 were still present in dports/
 software yesterday (sunday) while some had been deleted completely

 But this is not, as I said, a coherent behavior -- Later on, I uninstalled
 ddd and everything got cleaned
 up ok (probably due to its awesome maintainer), I uninstalled jikes
 minutes later and it was still there in
 dports/software.  "port installed" will say in either case that the port
 is not installed.

 I have cleaned up my whole  ${prefix}/share/darwinports/Tcl/port1.0/
 directory yesterday too, but I
 can't say if it was before or after these two uninstall.

 Hope that helps
