You need to use -f to force port to do this.
1. why do i have multiple versions of 'subversion' installed? when
i do 'port upgrade subversion', i assumed it installs the new
version and removes the old one... is that so?
Nope. Unless you pass the -u option (uninstall non-active ports
when upgrading and uninstalling) to port, it will just 'deactivate'
the old version (so you can quickly switch back and forth between
versions).
2. from the messages above, on what does 'subversion-perlbindings'
depend exactly? on a specific version of 'subversion'? or simply
on 'subversion' as a package?
The dependency tracking isn't extremely smart, so it just knows
that the subversions-perlbindings package needs a subversion
package installed and will complain if you try to uninstall any of
them (you can force port to ignore this with -f and prevent it in
the future with -u).
Well, that won't prevent the error... it'll just move it to a
different place. When he uses "sudo port -u upgrade subversion" next
time, he'll get the message that subversion 1.4.3_1 could not be
uninstalled because subversion-perlbindings depends on it. To get
around it, he'll then need to "sudo port -ufn upgrade subversion".
