Comment(by dluke@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 blb@…]:
 > Does this occur when only one install of the port being unnecessarily
 unarchived is available, or when there are multiple choices for the that
 port?

 I'm not sure what you're asking since with direct mode there's only ever
 one choice that's available (the current portfile's version/revision) as
 that's the only archive that will be looked for.

 I see it happen with ports that I only have one archive (the current
 version/revision) and ports that have multiple archives available, though.

 When looking at one of the ports where I see this problem, it's always the
 third time it appears that MacPorts is looking to see if it's installed
 that that lookup fails and MacPorts decides to unarchive it (in order to
 install it). If the Portfile hasn't changed, of course, the install is
 skipped after the unarchive since MacPorts notices that the port is
 already installed.

 > Also, what's the error output from port when the Portfile is later than
 the archive?

 % sudo touch `port dir db46`
 % sudo port -dv upgrade subversion-javahlbindings
