#63002: Strange message when reactivating port

 One of the ports I needed to deactivate to get past 10.9 build failures on
 an "upgrade outdated" was gpsbabel.  When reactivating it after completing
 the upgrade, I got these rather confusing messages:
 {{{
 MacPro:~ fw$ sudo port activate gpsbabel
 Error: gpsbabel cannot be installed for the configured build_arch 'x86_64'
 because it only supports the arch(s) '"i386 x86_64"'.
 Warning: Failed to execute portfile from registry for gpsbabel @1.5.4_0
 --->  Activating gpsbabel @1.5.4_0
 }}}
 It claims that the activation worked in spite of the reported error, and
 that seems to have been correct:
 {{{
 MacPro:~ fw$ port installed gpsbabel
 The following ports are currently installed:
   gpsbabel @1.5.4_0 (active)
 }}}
 And:
 {{{
 MacPro:~ fw$ gpsbabel -V

 GPSBabel Version 1.5.4
 }}}
 Note that that's not the latest version, due to the build failure that
 prompted the original deactivation.

 I assume that this is a base issue, perhaps due to an interaction between
 the old Portfile and the new base version.
