I have seen the same problem.
I believe there is a bug somewhere in the portfiles that update a
'p5-*' port to a 'p5.12-*' port
Let me explain;

Say I am upgrading:

p5-scalar-list-utils

the new port is:

p5.12-scalar-list-utils

The new port is fetched, verified, extracted, patched, configured,
built, installed and activated
but if you try to run 'port -u uninstall p5-scalar-list-utils'
you will run into trouble because ports does not recognize
'p5-scalar-list-utils' as installed and might complain about other
ports needing this port
If you then run the command:  'port -uf uninstall
p5-scalar-list-utils' ports does the uninstall

Is like at some point although ports knows that
p5.12-scalar-list-utils is installed, it does not know that the port
p5-scalar-list-utils can be uninstalled

Forcing the uninstall of all the ports 'p5-*' that have been updated
to 'p5.12-*' solves the problem and clean up the upgraded ports

In my case I had to write a script to clean the ~590 p5-* ports that
were upgraded to p5.12-*

Hope this helps
