Comment:

 You asked MacPorts to uninstall all installed ports named ncurses. There
 were two. Uninstalling the first one (the active one) would break another
 port, watch, so MacPorts asked you if you really wanted to do that. You
 answered no, so MacPorts did not uninstall the active ncurses. But it did
 uninstall the other one (the inactive one) since you originally asked it
 to uninstall all of them, and uninstalling that one wouldn't break
 anything.

 So it is working as designed. However, it might make sense to add an abort
 option which would prevent any further actions from taking place.
