No sense on my machine and for example when I do a port list installed I get three versions of boehmgc all with the same version number, @7.2c. When I do port list inactive I get 2 versions of the same but no way to tell which is which. If I do sudo port install boehmgc, macports understands and deactivates the universal build andactivates the ppc build. Now, how do I tell macports to uninstall the inactive versions and tell them apart in a listing? I might have gotten it wrong when i tried the -u option with install but before i go on and make a further mess I thought that I would ask the group.

As explained in the FAQ:

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#portlist

You want "port installed", "port installed inactive", etc.
