When you run "make=20 install clean" on the php?-extensions port, it *installs* the extensions.=20 Naturally, I expected that when I ran the uninstall, it would uninstall=20 the same ports that it installed previously. In fact, when you uninstall=20 the php4-extensions port, it *says* it uninstalled, but it *does* nothing. = It doesn't even remove the ports from the ports db - nor does it remove=20 the files installed with each extension port. That's *not* expected behavior for a port. I had no problem correcting the problem, but I should have had to. If=20 it's not possible to uninstall the extensions ports from php4-extensions,=20 then it should tell you that when you try to run deinstall. For me it was = a minor inconvenience. For a newbie, it could be a disaster.
