Description
I've upgraded openssh to 4.2_0, but it couldn't be activated.
$ sudo port -d activate openssh 4.2_0 ---> Activating openssh 4.2_0 DEBUG: Image error: /Library/StartupItems/OpenSSH already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port openssh.
while executing
"_activate_contents $name $imagefiles $imagedir"
(procedure "portimage::activate" line 50) invoked from within
"portimage::activate $portname $portversion" port activate failed: Image error: /Library/StartupItems/OpenSSH already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port openssh.
Same problem with openssh 4.1_0.

Yes, I forgot I had reinstalled these files as a workaround of an openssh bug (which is still present, BTW).
As you might have expected, upgrade will *not* overwrite any of your files unless you ask it to with force (-f).
When activating openssh there was a file "in the way", so upgrade/activation fails - If you dont care about your /Library/StartupItems/OpenSSH (you installed it *not*darwinports) use -f when upgrading and darwinports wont yell about it.
This is *not* a bug! It is sane expected behaviour. Read port(1) for more information.
