Also, it appears that repeating the `port upgrade` command after it aborted in the activation phase does *not* complete the interrupted procedure.
I kind of understand this may be so that one can keep an older version of a port activated despite having the newer version installed, but in this case it backfires. It seems that the code could check to see if the .macports.${name}.state file is still present and if so, what it says. In the case at hand, the last recorded state is the destroot.
