ruby port won't uninstall, or install

[Kevin Ballard]

What does a `port contents ruby` get you?

To edit the registry, you can blow away the /opt/local/var/db/dports/ 
receipts/ruby directory, but that won't do anything about the  
file_map.db file. If `port contents ruby` lists nothing, then you're  
in the clear. If it actually lists files, then, well, I'm not really  
sure what to do about the file_map.db in that case.

I once wrote a script to re-generate an old-style file_map.db (which  
port would then convert to the new-style) based on the receipts.  
That's certainly a possibility.

Anybody else have any ideas?
