port upgrade causes problems when port not installed

[Kevin Ballard]

I just had an interesting problem, as detailed in ticket <http:// 
trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11200>.

Can anybody tell me why port upgrade used to build first, then  
install the new one, then deactivate/uninstall the old, then activate  
the new? And why now it's always deactivating/uninstalling first  
before installing the new? Except, as you can see in my log, doing  
the upgrade without it already installed finished the aborted build,  
installed, then uninstalled and started trying to re-build/install  
again?
