uninstalling an old port after a new install

instead of doing :
$ port upgrade -u mysql
i did :
$ port install mysql5 +server

the latest becoming active (mysql5 @5.0.51a_0+server)

then, i wanted to uninstall the oldest :
$ sudo port uninstall mysql5 @5.0.37_0+darwin_8+server
--->  Unable to uninstall mysql5 5.0.37_0+darwin_8+server, the following
ports depend on it:
--->    php5
Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on
mysql5 first.

does it means php5 uses the old version (mysql5 @5.0.37_0+darwin_8+server) ?

or does it means i did it the wrong way ? (apart install instead of upgrade)

and i've to do "something" to get php5 working with the newest mysql5 and
uninstall mysql5 afterwards ???

best,

yvon
