Comment (by tlockhart1976@…):

 Hmm. The MacPorts docs seem to imply that "delete filename" is about the
 same as the TCL "file delete -force" command. But the TCL docs say that
 "file delete filename" on a non-existent file is not considered an error.
 I see that some Portfiles use "delete filename", others use "file delete
 filename", and some using "delete filename" guard that line with a check
 for file existence. Whether the docs are right or not, it seems that
 running "delete filename" does produce an error, and that this line should
 be guarded. Or should I rely on the TCL documented behavior of "file
 delete to do this without needing a guard?
