Comment:

 The boost port contains over 31,000 files, so it is understandable that it
 takes some time to deactivate it. If you want to deactivate it, don't
 interrupt it; let it take as long as it needs.

 On my system:

 {{{

 }}}

 During this time, `tclsh8.5` is using nearly 100% of one CPU core. My
 system has a 2.6 GHz CPU; it'll take longer if yours is slower. My system
 has an SSD; it'll take longer if you have a hard disk.

 This may be another manifestation of the
 [https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 users/2014-October/036870.html slowness others have observed] on Yosemite
 when running `sudo port rev-upgrade`. Both during rev-upgrade and during
 deactivate, the MacPorts registry needs to be modified for each file.
