 This is `registry::run_target` failing here: https://github.com/macports
 /macports-base/blob/v2.8.1/src/port/port.tcl#L3269

 Usually that means there was an error in a pre- or post-deactivate block.
 When running the target on the Portfile fails, the port is deactivated
 with a direct registry call instead (which of course doesn't run the pre-
 or post-deactivate blocks, which is why it isn't the preferred method.)

 The lack of a log is likely due to the fact that the final step after
 uninstalling a port is to clean it. Enabling `keeplogs` may prevent this.
