Error message during update:

Unable to activate port ncursesw.
Using the forced activation workaround "sudo port -f activate ncursesw @5.7_0" resulted in a legion of error messages:

Consecutive upgrades or usage of ports depending on ncursesw seem to work. Thanks for the hint! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17293#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
