thanks a lot. That worked fine. Then I did the following

sudo port -vy upgrade outdated
Password:
--->  Computing dependencies for gimp2.
For gimp2: skipping org.macports.main (dry run)
    .. and skipping org.macports.archivefetch
    .. and skipping org.macports.fetch
    .. and skipping org.macports.checksum
    .. and skipping org.macports.extract
    .. and skipping org.macports.patch
    .. and skipping org.macports.configure
    .. and skipping org.macports.build
    .. and skipping org.macports.destroot
    .. and skipping org.macports.install
    .. and skipping org.macports.main
    .. and skipping org.macports.clean
Skipping deactivate gimp2 @2.8.10_0+help_browser+python27 (dry run)
Skipping activate gimp2 @2.8.10_1+help_browser+python27 (dry run)

So, should I run
 sudo port upgrade outdated?

 I tried
port search gimp2 at 2.8.10_0+help_browser+python27
and got the report "No match", which puzzles me. Why is it wanting to deactivate a port that isn't there?
