 I have various versions of freetds installed. They're all deactivated.

 {{{
 $ port installed freetds
 The following ports are currently installed:
   freetds @0.64_1+darwin_9
   freetds @0.64_1+darwin_9+mssql
   freetds @0.82_0+darwin_9
   freetds @0.82_0+darwin_9+mssql
 }}}

 php5 +mssql depends on freetds +mssql. When I try to install php5 +mssql
 it should activate freetds +mssql. But instead it starts trying to build
 freetds, which then fails to activate because it's already installed (just
 inactive).

 {{{
 $ port install php5 +apache2 +mssql

 --->  Verifying checksum(s) for freetds
 --->  Extracting freetds

 @0.82_0+darwin_9+mssql already registered as installed.  Please uninstall
 it first.
 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: freetds
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}

 If I manually activate freetds +mssql first, php5 detects the dependency
 and proceeds normally.

 {{{
 $ port activate freetds @0.82_0+darwin_9+mssql
 --->  Activating freetds @0.82_0+darwin_9+mssql
 $ port install php5 +apache2 +mssql

 --->  Verifying checksum(s) for php5
 --->  Extracting php5
 ^C
 }}}

 I thought this is what #12013 / r36762 was supposed to address.

 I'm using MacPorts trunk @39108 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 Intel with Xcode 3.1.
