libproxy: Requested variants "+python27" do not match original selection "+python27+universal".

I was having a number of problems getting MySQL to install on Mavericks. I finally decided to uninstall everything and try loading from scratch. The first thing that I tried was to install gimp2. It failed and I think that the following may be part of the problem.

Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean libproxy' or specify the force option (-f).

I received the following error when I tried to install lib proxy with python27 but not universal. Perhaps something in the script should be changed from +python27 to +python27+universal?

The error message already tells you how to resolve the problem: you must clean libproxy.

Note that "sudo port install libproxy@0.4.11+python27" is equivalent to "sudo port install libproxy +python27": it is not possible to specify a version (any version you specify will be ignored).
