port upgrade causes problems when port not installed

I just had an interesting problem, as detailed in ticket <http:// trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11200>. Can anybody tell me why port upgrade used to build first, then install the new one, then deactivate/uninstall the old, then activate the new? And why now it's always deactivating/uninstalling first before installing the new? Except, as you can see in my log, doing the upgrade without it already installed finished the aborted build, installed, then uninstalled and started trying to re-build/install again? -- Kevin Ballard http://kevin.sb.org eridius@macports.org http://www.tildesoft.com
