 After hours of chugging through upgrading all my ports (it's been a
 while), py26-numpy fails as per the enclosed file.

 I ran the py26 activation with:

 sudo port install python_select
 sudo python_select python26

 to make sure the right python was selected, but there seems to be a
 cascade of mis-targeting along the way and attempts to port uninstall
 keeps leading back through a seemingly infinite number of references to
 dependencies that have to be uninstalled first:
 {{{
 (~)# port uninstall py26-numpy
 --->  Unable to uninstall py26-numpy 1.4.0_0, the following ports depend
 on it:
 --->      py26-cairo
 --->      py26-matplotlib
 Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on
 py26-numpy first.
 (~)# sudo port uninstall py26-numpy
 --->  Unable to uninstall py26-numpy 1.4.0_0, the following ports depend
 on it:
 --->      py26-cairo
 --->      py26-matplotlib
 Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on
 py26-numpy first.
 (~)# sudo port uninstall py26-cairo py26-matplotlib py26-numpy
 --->  Unable to uninstall py26-cairo 1.8.8_0, the following ports depend
 on it:
 --->      py26-gtk
 Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on
 py26-cairo first.
 (~)# sudo port uninstall py26-gtk py26-cairo py26-matplotlib py26-numpy
 --->  Unable to uninstall py26-gtk 2.16.0_0, the following ports depend on
 it:
 --->      py26-pygtksourceview
 Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on
 py26-gtk first.
 }}}
 and so on...

 If the python_select dance had to be done before the other builds, the
 process should have either done it, or stopped to allow it before
 continuing or maybe py26-numpy just should have been rebuilt first.

 This is my first attempt to install a new, larger package (gimp) and so
 far, I'm just going in circles trying to upgrade all of the out of date
 ports, which won't upgrade so I can't install gimp and so on.

 Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, put the name of the
 port in the Port field, and cc the maintainer.
