base-1.6.0 "port uninstall" left installed files at case-sensitive FS

[ononon@…]

At HFS+ (case sensitive),

port install ncursesw
port uninstall ncursesw

make errors and some installed files are not deleted.

This is because "filemap" in Pextlib.dylib is a case-insensitive function, so

filemap set testmap "/A/Apple_Terminal" "casetest"
filemap set testmap "/a/appleII"        "casetest"
puts [filemap list testmap "casetest"]

show "/A/Apple_Terminal /A/appleII". (Note that path 'a' of 'appleII' was touppered !)

To fix this, you have only to substitute 'strncasecmp' with 'strncmp' in src/pextlib1.0/filemap.c . I guess that this fix make little influence to case-insensitive users, then expect that it is applied for our case-sensitive users.

Thanks in advance.

The attached patch should do what you're asking for. Paul, you wrote this code—will this break anything?

To answer my own question, yes, applying just this patch breaks deactivation.
