New description:

 It seems port dovecot replaced port dovecot2.

 In my case an upgrade outdated fails with this error:
 {{{
 --->  dovecot2 is replaced by dovecot
 --->  Computing dependencies for dovecot
 Error: Can't install dovecot because conflicting ports are active:
 dovecot2
 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
 }}}

 Somehow I am hesitating to remove dovecot2 to install dovecot as I fear my
 mail server might not work as intended anymore after this. A clean upgrade
 as intended by the ports sounds more promising to me.

 Can this be fixed?

Comment:

 Looks like we just forgot to remove the `conflicts dovecot2` line from the
 dovecot port when the dovecot2 port was marked `replaced_by dovecot`.
