gpt-uninstall 'foo-*-*'
A third way of typing the same uninstall. Note the single quotes.

Remove all of the packages with a 'noflavor' build flavor.

Bugs

Currently the flavor check that gpt-uninstall uses only works if the flavor is installed by gpt-build. And so for example: 

gpt-uninstall foo-gcc32-*
will not work. The work around is to uninstall the packages individually using something like: 
gpt-uninstall -name=foo -flavor=gcc32 -pkgtype=pgm
Or use a wild card for the flavor to uninstall all flavors of the package. 
gpt-uninstall foo-*-*
