question about upgrading port (getting errors)

[Evan Burrows]

Here are the dependencies for php5 on my machine:

php5 has library dependencies on:
        libxml2
        libxslt
        openssl
        zlib
        libiconv
        expat
        gettext
        tiff
        mhash
        libmcrypt
        curl
        pcre
        jpeg
        libpng
        freetype

When i originally tried installing php5 again it required a higher version
of pcre than i had.  so I deactivated the old version and installed the new
version:
The following ports are currently installed:
  pcre @4.5_0 (active)
  pcre @7.1_1+utf8



But I can't see to deactivate the 4.5_0 version because i get the error i
stated earlier.  I did a selfupdate yesterday and again this morning before
trying to uninstall and install php5 but still had the same problems.  Like
I said earlier I have been able to install other ports so it isn't like my
whole macports installation is busted.  Just php5 is giving me an issue
right now.
