Description
I just run
port upgrade outdated
on a computer where I use privoxy as web proxy. In the middle of the process it was interrupted with an error message. After some digging I realised that the problem was that privoxy somewhere in the upgrade process had been deleted, hence port couldn't download the remaining updates.
This feels like a quite stupid bug!

Well, it wasn't even re-installed after the upgrade was finalized. I think this even might be a regression: I remember there was problems with upgrading privoxy a couple of years ago.
Besides, even if you unlink a binary it does not disappear until it is quit so I don't know what happened here. Anyway, run ports without proxy? Test if a proxy originating from ports is used and present a warning?

There would be no reliable way to check if a proxy from a port is used for MacPorts itself.
What is the proposed solution?
