I forgot to say that in this situation `port outdated` shows:

$ port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:
C                        1 < 2

but `sudo port upgrade outdated` has no effect:

$ sudo port upgrade outdated
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
--->  No broken files found.
$ port installed
  A @1 (active)
  B @1 (active)
  C @1 (active)
  C @2

Best wishes.
