 When trying to upgrade py25-numpy:

 {{{
 --->  Computing dependencies for py25-nose..
 --->  Dependencies to be installed: py25-distribute
 --->  Activating py25-distribute @0.6.13_0
 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-info
 already
 exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port
 py25-distribute. Use 'port -f activate py25-distribute' to force the
 activation.
 Log for py25-distribute is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_Users_vinc17_software_dports_python_py25-distribute/main.log
 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: py25-distribute
 Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
 }}}

 However /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5
 .egg-info has files that belong to py25-setuptools:

 {{{

 $ port contents py25-setuptools | grep
 /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-info
   /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-
 info/PKG-
   /INFO
   /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-info/
   /SOURCES.txt
   /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-info/
   /dependency_links.txt
   /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-info/
   /entry_points.txt
   /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-info/
   /top_level.txt
   /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-
 info/zip-
   /safe

 }}}

 and all the files in /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-
 packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.5.egg-info belong to py25-setuptools.

 So either there should be no errors or the activation of py25-distribute
 tries to remove files from py25-setuptools, contrary to what the message
 says, and using -f as suggested may break the installation!

Comment(by and.damore@…):

 I broke EOL while reformatting long lines, fixed.
