Comment:

 I need a little advice on this. Since there will be multiple ports
 containing the same files as the current p5-libwww-perl port contains,
 there is a catch-22 when upgrading. MacPorts starts upgrading p5-libwww-
 perl, then sees the new dependencies. So it tries to bring in the
 dependencies first. As soon as it hits a port with files overlapping the
 original p5-libwww-perl, there's a file conflict and the upgrade halts
 with an error.

 This can be worked around by deactivating p5-libwww-perl first, but how
 best to tell the admin to do that? Or is there a better way to handle
 something like this?
