error uninstalling packages

[Kevin Ballard]

I recommend blowing away all tcl files in your /opt/local tree and re- 
installing the MacPorts infrastructure. That should be more than  
enough to fix it.

Of course, I'm recommending this because I don't know the actual  
cause of the problem. If somebody does, I'm sure they'll have a less  
drastic way to fix it.
