Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, that does not work. The
"selfupdate" seems to think the conversion is complete so it doesn't
convert the parts that are missing.
======
 port selfupdate -d
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.0.3 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.0.3 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you
should run
  port upgrade outdated
=====
The "port upgrade" command still fails in the same way.


I also tried running the gentle "sudo port -fp uninstall
--follow-dependents installed" command but that fails with the same
problems that the directories are not empty, so I think my only option now
is to nuke the whole directory tree.
