ua3arifsaha:~ root# sqlite3 /opt/local/var/macports/registry/registry.db
SQLite version 3.25.2 2018-09-25 19:08:10
Enter ".help" for usage hints.

sqlite> .q
The number 27516 was arbitrary just so I can find the record
again if I need to. After this the uninstall worked fine. I did
not change the path in the database and it seemed causing
macports had no problem finding which files and paths to
uninstall.
Thanks!
