 I ran sudo port upgrade outdated. atlas was the first upgrade and at first
 it failed at the "---> Building Atlas" step. Following the instructions in
 the Ticket Guidelines, I tried "sudo port clean atlas" and then tried to
 "upgrade outdated" again. It failed again (log file attached).

 Following the instructions in the Ticket Guidelines again, I tried to
 uninstall atlas, intending to reinstall it. I tried "sudo port uninstall
 atlas", but got an error asking me to specify the full version. After
 typing "sudo port installed atlas" I then tried "sudo port uninstall atlas
 @3.9.47_0+gcc44". I received the following error message:
 {{{
 "--->  Unable to uninstall atlas @3.9.47_0+gcc44, the following ports
 depend on it:
 --->    py26-numpy @1.6.0_0+atlas+gcc44"
 }}}

 Ticket #34712 seems to be about a similar problem and it says the problem
 was fixed, but I seem to be having the same problem.

 I'm not sure what to do next. I can't uninstall and reinstall atlas, and I
 haven't found another way to get the port upgrade to work. I'm filing a
 ticket here because it seems to be a bug. Or, at least after following the
 steps in the ticket posting guidelines, I haven't been able to rule out
 this being a bug.
