dependency confusion between py26-setuptools and py26-distribute

Description
I just tried doing a port uninstall inactive
, and when it got to py26-setuptools, it failed with:
---> Unable to uninstall py26-setuptools 0.6c11_0, the following ports depend on it: ---> py26-virtualenv ---> py26-simplejson ---> py26-jinja2 ---> py26-pygments ---> py26-pyflakes Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on py26-setuptools first.
Next I ran:
$ port info py26-virtualenv py26-virtualenv @1.4.5 (python, devel) Variants: universal ... Library Dependencies: python26, py26-distribute
And lo, py26-setuptools isn't actually listed as a dependency.
I currently have the most up-to-date versions of py26-distribute and py26-setuptools. Please let me know how to get this in order. Ideally I'd only need py26-distribute, and could uninstall py26-setuptools entirely, but I'll settle for whatever keeps everything consistent (that is, not contradicting itself).

Replying to raimue@…:
Most probably #13054. Just use force for this one, but consider switching to
portdbformat sqlite
in your macports.conf.
Before I try with -f, I'd like to see if I can get it working without it. I switched to sqlite, rebuilt the port registry, and ran port uninstall inactive again, but it looks like it cached the failed result. If so, is there a way to clear the cache and try again (without -f)?

There isn't a "cache" per se. If the deps were wrong in the flat registry, they're still wrong after migrating it to sqlite. They will however be correct after upgrading to a new version of a port when using sqlite.

I just force uninstalled the few incorrectly-registered ports I had (py26-setuptools, texlive_base, texlive_texmf-docs) and then the "uninstall inactive" worked. Thanks for the quick help!
