Can anyone explain why I can't uninstall rb-sqlite3?

That's an odd file...especially since everything should be in /opt/local.

After this, 'port installed rb-sqlite3' still shows it as installed?  If so,
sounds like it's actually failing to delete the receipt.  See what's located
in /opt/local/var/macports/receipts/rb-sqlite3 with

$ ls -lR /opt/local/var/macports/receipts/rb-sqlite3

I know there is/was an issue with abnormal characters in some places that
can confuse port, but rb-sqlite3 doesn't appear to have any such issues that
I can see.
