How upgrade p5.20-test, p5.20-module-build

[Murray Eisenberg]

Thanks, but ouch! I tried the first step,

  sudo port deactivate p5*-module-build and active

but I got lots of additional errors:

$ sudo port deactivate p5*-module-build and active
--->  Deactivating p5.16-module-build @0.421.0_1

This is the kind of morass I was referring to!

And thanks in advance for working on a fix. Meanwhile, anything I can do to finesse this?
