Cannot uninstall local port with invalid version number

[David Strubbe]

Hi,

I'm not sure about how to fix your problem, but I believe the root cause is
that you used something very strange as a revision. I suspect you meant to
use "0.97.114.105.102.115.97.104.97.1" as a version not a revision. In our
terminology, revisions mean updates to the packaging in the Portfile, while
versions mean updates to the underlying code.

The MacPorts base, of course, should have applied to same check to the
revision string you supplied at build time as it is doing at uninstall time.
