BUG: activation status of dependencies is not checked before installation — at Version 4

Description (last modified by jmpalacios (Juan Manuel Palacios))
assuming i want to install port A that depends on port B. in case that port B is already installed but currently not activated for some reason, "port install portA" does not complain and begins to install port A nonetheless. the installation will most likely fail in the configure, or build phase because it cannot locate port B that it depends on.
this has bitten me several times by now and can be quite confusing, especially when a port is unintentionally inactive due to a prior installation/activation error.
i really would expect that darwinports moans when i try to install a port that has inactive dependencies. imho it should spit out a warning at least.
