--------------------------------------------------------------
sudo port uninstall sqlite3 @3.6.1_0
--->  Unable to uninstall sqlite3 3.6.1_0, the following ports depend on it:

--->  	apr-util
Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on sqlite3 first.

    $ sudo port -u upgrade sqlite3
