Strange p5-perl-tidy upgrade to p5.12-perl-tidy (not to p5.16-perl-tidy)

[Andreas Kusalananda Kähäri]

Hi,

I’m using perltidy from p5-perl-tidy (depends on p5.16-perl-tidy), but when I decided to run a “port upgrade installed” I noticed that it was “upgraded” to p5.12-perl-tidy (which also pulled in the previously uninstalled perl5.12 port).

This confuses me, especially since the p5-perl-tidy port explicitly says "Replaced by: p5.16-perl-tidy”.	

$ sudo port -y upgrade p5-perl-tidy

$ port info p5-perl-tidy
p5-perl-tidy @20101217_3 (perl)
Replaced by:          p5.16-perl-tidy

Description:          Perltidy reads a perl script and writes an indented, reformatted script. Perltidy can produce
                      output on either of two modes, depending on the existence of an -html flag. Without this
                      flag, the output is passed through a formatter.
