Error installing ncurses

[G R Lewis]

After not using mac ports for a long time I'm trying to catch up. I got through the phase of switching to the new Xcode.app and doing a selfupdate, but now this happens: 

$ sudo port upgrade outdated
--->  Computing dependencies for gettext
--->  Dependencies to be installed: ncurses
--->  Activating ncurses @5.9_1
Error: org.macports.activate for port ncurses returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/captoinfo is being used by the active ncursesw port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate ncurses' to force the activation.
Error: Failed to install ncurses
Please see the log file for port ncurses for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_ncurses/ncurses/main.log
Error: The following dependencies were not installed: ncurses
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

Any tips on what to do? TIA.
