python2.6-2.6.2 wrong port upgraded (gperf)

[paulymer@…]

I am trying to upgrade my python installation. First I tried:

$ sudo port install python2.6

but I unknowingly had a python2.6 installed already. So I tried:

  $ sudo port upgrade python26

--- snip ---

As can be seen, gperf was installed instead of python2.6 upgraded...

python26 has several dependencies, one of which is gettext which then pulls in libiconv and that needs gperf, hence installing it. After your snip, did it eventually get to installing the python26 port?
