New description:

 {{{
 Watson:ncurses roy$ sudo port uninstall ncurses
 The following versions of ncurses are currently installed:
  1) ncurses @6.1_0 (active)
  2) ncurses @6.1_0+universal
 Enter option(s) [1-2/all]: all
 Note: It is not recommended to uninstall/deactivate a port that has
 dependents as it breaks the dependents.
 The following ports will break:
  watch @3.3.11_0
 ...
  fluidsynth @2.0.5_0
 Continue? [y/N]: n
 --->  Uninstalling ncurses @6.1_0+universal
 }}}

 This doesn't seem right. Should there be an Abort option? BTW, I did a
 selfupdate just before doing this.
