ORBit/GConf problem

Hi,

I was just wondering how end users were meant to know which versions  
were obsolete/current? When I run "port outdated" it doesn't seem to  
take into account which ports are activated.

Also, I'm not sure if I have been updating ports correctly. For  
example, I ran "sudo port upgrade outdated" and, got the following  
message:
--->  Activating gtk2 2.14.3_2+x11
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/ 
include/gail-1.0/gail/gailwidget.h is being used by the active gail  
port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force  
the activation.

I then deactivated gail and activated gtk2. Should gail also be  
active, or can only one be active at the time? I attempted to  
reactivate it, but got a similar error message:
Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/include/gail-1.0/ 
gail/gailwidget.h is being used by the active gtk2 port.  Please  
deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

Cheers.
