variant not installed as required

[vinc17@…]

I did a

sudo port -v install liferea 1.4.22d_0 +lua

to install a new version of Liferea with the lua variant, and got the following error:

[...]
--->  Compressing man pages for liferea
man1/liferea.1:  55.8% -- replaced with man1/liferea.1.gz
man1/liferea.1.gz: changing permissions from 00644 to 00444
--->  Installing liferea 1.4.22d_0

The date/time format has changed. If you want to override the
new one, you need to run
  gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/liferea/date-format <format>
where <format> is the format in strftime syntax.
--->  Cleaning liferea
--->  Removing build directory for liferea
Error: Port 1.4.22d_0 not found

And the lua variant hasn't been installed:

prunille:~> port installed liferea
The following ports are currently installed:
  liferea @1.4.22c_0+lua
  liferea @1.4.22d_0 (active)

Oops, I forgot to remove the version number from the command line. But anyway, if it isn't accepted, port should return an error before doing anything.

"1.4.22d_0" is syntactically valid as a port name. So this is really the same problem as #14928.
