 The p5-pathtools port, for example, requires that you activate it with the
 `-f` flag to force it to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port. If
 you do not do this, you get an error message and the p5-pathtools port
 does not activate. However, unexpectedly, the exit code of the `port`
 command is still 0. The exit code should be nonzero, since the command did
 not successfully complete.

 {{{
 $ sudo port activate p5-pathtools @3.25_0

 Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8

 is being used by the active perl5.8 port.  Please deactivate this port
 first, or use the -f flag
 to force the activation.
