That's 12288:

<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12288>

so much-improved in 1.7.

Though the port in need of an upgrade was still installed just deactivated,
so the big question is whether outdated should pay attention to deactivated
as well?  And I think for cyrus-sasl2, don't you have to completely
uninstall as it'll be reactivated if you try doing an upgrade of it?
