ncview fails to build if dependency is active

[thiagoveloso (Thiago V. dos Santos)]

Just tried to install ncview on a Yosemite Mac OS X. It fails with the following message:

Error: ncview cannot be built while hdf5 is active.
Error: Please forcibly deactivate hdf5, e.g. by running:
Error:
Error:     sudo port -f deactivate hdf5
Error:
Error: Then try again. You can reactivate hdf5 again later.
Error: Failed to configure ncview: hdf5 is active
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_ncview/ncview/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port ncview failed

I have attached main.log to this ticket. It works fine if I disable hdf5, attempt to install ncview again and then reactivate hdf5.

This ticket might be related to #54049, but looks more like a Macports thing that a dependency issue.

Any ideas?
