 When performing a:
 {{{
 port -uc upgrade outdated
 }}}
 The whole process will likely screw up because if a outdated port can't be
 uninstalled because of deps the new version won't get installed or
 activated. This leads to other libraries being built on the outdated
 version making it even harder to get the outdated ports removed. The -u
 flag should either wait till the end to remove outdated ports or at least
 still install the new port even if the old one can't be uninstalled. In
 fact, shouldn't it try to uninstall the old one AFTER installing the new
 one?
