BUG: Uninstalling a deactivated port still triggers dependency warnings.

[schwern@…]

Uninstalling a deactivated port, even while another version is active, port still checks for dependencies as if it were active. As a result I can't simply say "port uninstall inactive" without the dangers of forcing it.

Here's an example attempting to uninstall a deactive version of bison.

$ port uninstall bison
--->  The following versions of bison are currently installed:
--->    bison @2.2_0
--->    bison @2.3_0 (active)
Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full version as recorded in the port registry.

$ port uninstall bison@2.2_0
--->  Unable to uninstall bison 2.2_0, the following ports depend on it:
--->    gpg-agent
--->    gpg-agent
Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on bison first.

$ port info gpg-agent
gpg-agent 2.0.3, security/gpg-agent (Variants: universal, darwin, darwin_7, no_pinentry)
http://www.gnupg.org

gpg-agent is a key management agent similar in function to ssh-agent.
