BUG: port uninstall can't resolve dependencies

[namely_void@…]

Doing a "port uninstall installed" cannot resolve dependencies and uninstall "from the top down" as it should. Instead, it aborts on the first port that has dependant ports.

This is one of the many shortcomings of our dependency engine, so the ticket has no place in the 1.4 milestone which is less than two days away. Setting to "needs dev review" so that discussion on it places it elsewhere, but in short I don't see this being fixed without a major rework of our deps engine.

Do we want to call this fixed given that sudo port uninstall --follow-dependents installed will now succeed in uninstalling everything?
