port command erroneously lists python26 @2.6.4 as both active and inactive

roberto@vieques:~$ port installed |grep python26
  mod_python26 @3.3.1_0 (active)
  mod_wsgi @2.5_0+python26 (active)
  python26 @2.6.3_1+darwin
  python26 @2.6.4_0+darwin (active)
roberto@vieques:~$ port list active |grep python26

python26                       @2.6.4          lang/python26
roberto@vieques:~$ port list inactive |grep python26
python26                       @2.6.4          lang/python26

"port list active" and "port list inactive" do not do what you expect, but they are functioning correctly. They are listing the latest versions of the list of ports requested. Nowhere did the "port list" command say those ports were active or inactive. "port installed", however, correctly identifies which ports are active or not.

OK. Perhaps the documentation could be made a little more clear in that respect. But after your explanation, I see what you mean.
