Comment:

 See #43727. It was an error for the developers of SGMLSpm to have used the
 version number "1.03ii" because perl module version numbers are required
 to be floating point numbers. However, that was done 19 years ago. Perhaps
 that requirement was not in effect at the time, and in any case, the
 software appears to have been abandoned, or else they would have released
 a new version by now.

 Perhaps we should assign a different (floating point) version number to
 this port to avoid this problem.

 Still, it would be nice if MacPorts would not explode, even if a perl
 module uses an incorrect version number.

 Have you tried the obvious, that is to say:

 {{{
 sudo port uninstall p5.12-sgmlspm '@1.3.{}_0'
 }}}
