Hi,

I ran into a problem running port upgrade outdated today. Among the packages to 
be upgraded were libLASi (from 1.1.1_0 to 1.1.1_1) and graphviz (from 
2.34.0_1+pangocairo+x11 to 2.34.0_4+pangocairo+x11). However, the port upgrade 
command chose to execute the upgrade in an unfortunate sequence: First it tried 
to upgrade graphviz, which failed due to the bug in ticket 
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41567 - when the proper behaviour would have 
been to upgrade libLASi first. This required a manual intervention, which IMHO 
is not user friendly.

Does the port upgrade command have any logic in determining the order of 
upgrades? Or is this something that needs to be specified on the port file 
level? In this case, graphviz lib-depends on libLASi, so should port not try 
upgrading the deps before a package?
 
Cheers,

Peter
