upgrade outdated fails (due to atlas upgrade problem) on OSX 10.6.8

[joel@…]

I ran sudo port upgrade outdated. atlas was the first upgrade and at first it failed at the "---> Building Atlas" step. Following the instructions in the Ticket Guidelines, I tried "sudo port clean atlas" and then tried to "upgrade outdated" again. It failed again (log file attached).

Following the instructions in the Ticket Guidelines again, I tried to uninstall atlas, intending to reinstall it. I tried "sudo port uninstall atlas", but got an error asking me to specify the full version. After typing "sudo port installed atlas" I then tried "sudo port uninstall atlas @3.9.47_0+gcc44". I received the following error message:

"--->  Unable to uninstall atlas @3.9.47_0+gcc44, the following ports depend on it:
--->  	py26-numpy @1.6.0_0+atlas+gcc44"

Ticket #34712 seems to be about a similar problem and it says the problem was fixed, but I seem to be having the same problem.

I'm not sure what to do next. I can't uninstall and reinstall atlas, and I haven't found another way to get the port upgrade to work. I'm filing a ticket here because it seems to be a bug. Or, at least after following the steps in the ticket posting guidelines, I haven't been able to rule out this being a bug.
