 The dependency check on uninstall is broken, it seems.

 Here is an example output from an attempt to remove older
 versions, wich are inactive:

 {{{
 bash-3.2# port -v uninstall inactive
 --->  Unable to uninstall apr 1.2.8_0, the following ports depend on it:
 --->    apr-util
 --->    subversion
 --->    subversion
 --->    apache2
 --->    subversion
 --->    subversion-perlbindings
 --->    apr-util
 Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on
 apr first.
 }}}
 I would say this made sense if there was no active apr port, but thats not
 the case:
 {{{
 bash-3.2# port installed apr
 The following ports are currently installed:
   apr @1.2.12_1+darwin_9 (active)
   apr @1.2.8_0
 }}}
 And the port cannot use the not-active port anyway.

 The same behaviour can be observed, when I try a different approach:
 {{{
 bash-3.2# port -vu uninstall
 --->  Unable to uninstall apr 1.2.8_0, the following ports depend on it:
 --->    apr-util
 --->    subversion
 --->    subversion
 --->    apache2
 --->    subversion
 --->    subversion-perlbindings
 --->    apr-util
 Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on
 apr first.
 }}}
 So I assume the check of dependencies is not working, or am I missing
 something here?
