"port upgrade p5-version" tries to uninstall it first (and fails)

[vinc17@…]

I want to upgrade p5-version, but port tries to uninstall it first, instead of deactivating it. So, I get the following error:

$ sudo port -d upgrade p5-version

This should be fixed in trunk thanks to r37442.

Milestone MacPorts base bugs deleted

Assuming this is fixed since no indication to the contrary has been made.

[vinc17@…]

I confirm that I no longer have any problem.
