`port -R upgrade texlive' goes endlessly looping on port build fail

[florian.ebeling@…]

When I run the command

port -R upgrade texlive

then the py25-realine failed. This is a separate (port-related) issue (#14828).

Afterwards upgrade procedure went into an endless loop re-trying to build this port. This seems to be a bug.

(Mac OS X 10.5.2, MacBook Core Duo, MacPorts 1.6.0)

Try:

sudo port clean --all py25-readline
sudo port install py25-readline
sudo port upgrade texlive

Leopard sometimes just seems to drop commands, but when you attempt to recreate the issue, just works

[jmr@…]

It'll be hard to test this because trunk also has a fix for the environment variable issue that caused py25-readline to fail, but I think this may be the same as #10827. If that's the case, then it's not actually an infinite loop, but a very large amount of recursive dependency+dependent following (possibly exacerbated by duplicate dependency entries as in #8763).

Unless we get evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume that this was a large but not infinite loop caused by the aforementioned bugs.
