Comment(by paulymer@…):

 I see, that makes sense.  I checked the output and python26 was never
 installed.  Here is the full list of ports that were installed(upgraded);
 I removed extra lines for each port:

 --->  Fetching xorg-xproto

 $

 I checked a few things:

 $ port outdated
 --- snip ---
 python26                       2.6.1_0 < 2.6.2_2
 --- snip ---

 and, I ran "$ sudo port upgrade python26" again, but nothing happened.
 Then, I tried to clean the port with "$ sudo port clean --all python26" as
 shown in the user manual; seemed to be okay.  Poking around further, I
 tried to uninstall python26 port, so that I could reinstall fresh; here is
 the result:

 $ sudo port uninstall python26
 --->  The following versions of python26 are currently installed:
 --->    python26 @2.6.1_0 (active)
 --->    python26 @2.6.2_2
 Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full
 version as recorded in the port registry.

 So, it appears that the port has been upgraded to the latest version, but
 that change hasn't been reflected in the port registry?  If this is the
 case, how do I update the registry?  Thanks.
