port upgrade should consider variants when computing dependencies

[opendarwin-2006@…]

apr-util usually depends on db4, but if you install apr-util with the +no_bdb variant, this deletes the db4 dependency. This is how I installed my apr-util 1.2.2, and this is how I want it. I do not want db4 on my system.

Attempting to upgrade apr-util to 1.2.6 wants to install db4, however. It seems that port upgrade doesn't use the variants that were specified in the last install when computing the needed dependencies.

I brought this up on the mailing list:

Daniel J. Luke suggested I provide the output of port -d -v upgrade apr-util so here it is:

He also suggested I upgrade with -n (skipping the dependencies) which was a successful workaround.
