Comment (by aikebah):

 > There's really no way to avoid the need for manual intervention when
 there are two conflicting ports, you have one of them installed, and then
 you try to install something that requires the other (that applies equally
 to upgrading to new versions that add a new dependency)

 Is something I could perfectly accept as an end-user had the svn-related
 ports been requested or when the p5-28 flavour of the port is also
 required (directly or transitively) by some other port that I had
 requested. (that is: there is also a conflict in ports that would be
 installed were I to request the same set of ports on a vanilla Macports
 install).
 It is however not the expected behavior by me as an end-user when the
 requested port has upgraded its dependency to a newer version and
 installation of the same set of requested ports succeeds on a vanilla
 MacPorts install. Then I would expect the system to auto-deactivate the
 now orphaned transitively required ports to allow for the upgrade to the
 p5-34 version.
