New description:

 This is just a FYI report, as Macport asked me to report it.
 macOS v: 10.14.6
 Macport v: 2.6.2
 affected ports: oniguruma5 -> oniguruma6, jq @1.6_1
 ----
 After a while I wanted to install a new macport, but have been warned my
 macport is old so I should run `sudo port selfupdate`, so I did, but it
 ended up with following error and suggestion to report a bug:

 {{{
 Error: Can't install oniguruma6 because conflicting ports are active:
 oniguruma5
 Error: Problem while installing oniguruma6
 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
 }}}


 I think I've managed to resolve it by following this Stackoverflow post
 [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8561355/resolving-a-macports-
 installation-conflict Resolving a macports installation 'conflict'].

 I simply tried to uninstall, but then reading the post suggesting to
 rather only deactivate the conflicting active port, followed with
 installation of the new version which wanted to rebuild the dependant
 port.

 On the command line it looked like this:

 {{{
 ζ sudo port deactivate oniguruma5
 Note: It is not recommended to uninstall/deactivate a port that has
 dependents as it breaks the dependents.
 The following ports will break: jq @1.6_1
 Continue? [y/N]: y
 Warning: Deactivate forced.  Proceeding despite dependencies.
 --->  Deactivating oniguruma5 @5.9.6_p1_0
 --->  Cleaning oniguruma5
 }}}
 Then

 {{{
 ζ sudo port install oniguruma6
 --->  Fetching archive for oniguruma6
 --->  Attempting to fetch oniguruma6-6.9.5_0.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2 from
 https://packages.macports.org/oniguruma6

 --->  Updating database of binaries
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
 --->  Found 2 broken files, matching files to ports
 --->  Found 1 broken port, determining rebuild order
 You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.
 The following ports will be rebuilt: jq @1.6
 Continue? [Y/n]: y
 --->  Computing dependencies for jq
 --->  Fetching archive for jq
 --->  Attempting to fetch jq-1.6_2.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2 from
 https://packages.macports.org/jq

 --->  No broken files found.
 --->  No broken ports found.
 }}}

 After that I could carry on with the selfupdate process.


 As I said above, I don't expect any immediate fix or solution for my
 particular scenario would be provided. I'm only reporting it as a FYI
 because developers seem to be interested in such bugreports to see.

 Ideally the fix would do the same step I did in the background or
 interactively, but it would require kind of AI to analyse each step and
 possible choice.

 Perhaps if the failure on upgrade would rather point out to a specific
 place in the documentation what to do in such situations rather than a
 link to report a bug, could be more helpful.
