Hi Dave, 

That is standard practice. I don’t know the real reason for it, didn’t bother 
to investigate, but you just need to follow what is written there: that is 
deactivating Poppler before upgrading it. 

`sudo port -f deactivate popper`
`sudo port upgrade popper`.

I guess it is a safety measure to avoid breaking running programs? I guess.  
Here: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/58574 there’s probably the long answer 
to that :)
