That's the bad issue with the 'not a directory' problem, when the old one is
uninstalled/deactivated, the files aren't actually removed (the error occurs
before the file list is added to the file map, so port thinks it has no
files).  This means you have to force the activation of the port, and of
course deal with the annoying saved '*.mp_*' files.
