Dovecot update fails as port is in use

Port: dovecot, dovecot2

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

It seems port dovecot replaced port dovecot2.

In my case an upgrade outdated fails with this error: 

--->  dovecot2 is replaced by dovecot
--->  Computing dependencies for dovecot
Error: Can't install dovecot because conflicting ports are active: dovecot2
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.

Somehow I am hesitating to remove dovecot2 to install dovecot as I fear my mail server might not work as intended anymore after this. A clean upgrade as intended by the ports sounds more promising to me.

Can this be fixed?

Looks like we just forgot to remove the conflicts dovecot2 line from the dovecot port when the dovecot2 port was marked replaced_by dovecot.

In c14d40e48c1dbd0d37bed614f630388b8bae8bc6/macports-ports (master):

dovecot: Remove conflict with dovecot2

dovecot2 is replaced by dovecot; dovecot declaring a conflict with
dovecot2 prevents dovecot2 users from upgrading to dovecot.
