At a guess, it's getting installed and then immediately deactivated and
replaced with the older version because of dependencies broken by the new
one. Use "upgrade" instead of "install" to make sure those dependencies are
also updated to use the new version; or if that also ends up re-downgrading
you in the rev-upgrade step following the upgrade, then make a note of the
ports which were noted as broken in rev-upgrade and file Trac tickets
against them, as that would indicate they have dependencies they are not
declaring properly.
