portupgrade errors on upgrade install

[Charles Sprickman]

Howdy,

Occasionally I've been running into an issue when doing an upgrade on a 
port where the old port gets uninstalled and then the new port install 
fails.  So far the only fix is to manually deal with the deletion of the 
old port.

An example is probably the easiest way to demonstrate this:

--->  Build of shells/bash ended at: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:56:10 -0500 
(consumed 00:00:49)
--->  Updating dependency info
--->  Uninstallation of bash-4.0.33_2 started at: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 
02:56:10 -0500
--->  Fixing up dependencies before creating a package
--->  Backing up the old version

Looks good so far, port built without error, start the uninstall.

--->  Uninstalling the old version
--->  Deinstalling 'bash-4.0.33_2'
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 66 packages 
found (-1 +0) (...) done]
--->  Uninstallation of bash-4.0.33_2 ended at: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:56:13 
-0500 (consumed 00:00:03)

Looks as if it has deinstalled the old bash...


--->  Installation of shells/bash started at: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:56:13 
-0500
--->  Installing the new version via the port
===>  Installing for bash-4.0.35
===>   bash-4.0.35 depends on shared library: intl - found
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if shells/bash already installed

It shouldn't be since we just uninstalled it (or did we?)

===>   bash-4.0.35 is already installed

Huh?
       You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
       by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
       If you really wish to overwrite the old port of shells/bash
       without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
       in your environment or the "make install" command line.

If it matters, this is in a jail.  This is 7.2 with portupgrade version 
2.4.6_3,2.

I've seen this pretty often, but have never been able to track down what's 
happening in that deinstall step.

Thanks,

Charles
