Not sure where the bug is here, but it's evident in 'port reclaim'.
The p5-* ports are basically placeholders for the p5.##- ports. I
*think* I've even worked out the right way to use that construct to make
Perl upgrades simpler, so I use the p5-* ports:
$ sudo port install p5-net-cidr p5-term-readline p5-test-fatal

Perfectly normal, right?
However, immediately after doing that, I did a reclaim and got a
surprise:
$ sudo port -v reclaim
---> Checking for unnecessary unrequested ports
Unrequested ports without requested dependents found:
p5.30-test-fatal @0.16.0_0
p5.30-net-cidr @0.200.0_0
p5.30-term-readline @1.140.0_0
Would you like to uninstall them? [Y/n]: n
And the dependency map is not reversible:
$ port deps p5-net-cidr
Full Name: p5-net-cidr @0.200.0_0
Library Dependencies: p5.30-net-cidr
$ port rdependents p5.30-net-cidr
p5.30-net-cidr has no dependents.
