Upgrade confusion

[Mike Alexander]

Something is confused in my MacPorts setup.  After a selfupdate tonight 
(which got version 1.4) it tries to upgrade the same ports over and 
over again, even though they don't need upgrading.  For example when I 
execute "port -uf upgrade gnucash" I get the sequence

--->  Deactivating expat 2.0.0_1
--->  Uninstalling expat 2.0.0_1
--->  Installing expat 2.0.0_1
--->  Activating expat 2.0.0_1

I've seen this for expat about 6 times so far, and similar things 
happen with many other ports.  At least it's not rebuilding the ports, 
so it doesn't take too long.

Also, it tries to install XFree86 even though I have Apple's X11 
installed (correctly I think, I've been using it for years and have 
installed many ports that depend on it).  After telling me it won't 
install XFree86 because I have X11 installed, it then proceeds to 
install it anyway.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
