Following up this one here is another weirdo::
ttp://httpd.apache.org/
===>  Cleaning for apache-2.2.9_5
--->  Cleaning out obsolete shared libraries

Here we have another example of portupgrade gets its dependencies in a twist.

Not install Image-Magick on the grounds that apache, which it has just 
upgraded does not have the previous version installed.

This is a constant repeat of the same problem as has happened with kde and 
elsewjhere
