policykit upgrade still looking for llvm-3.3 after -3.4 install + select

[dsmithhfx@…]

Hi,

After unsuccessful attempt to upgrade llvm-3.3 on 10.4.11 ppc, I read this ticket #39849 pronouncing it "wontfix" -3.3, & advising to switch to -3.4.

I was able to do this and:

port select --set llvm mp-llvm-3.4
Selecting 'mp-llvm-3.4' for 'llvm' succeeded. 'mp-llvm-3.4' is now active.

However, subsequent upgrade attempts including gconf and policykit are still trying to update llvm-3.3:

sudo port upgrade policykit
--->  Computing dependencies for llvm-3.3
--->  Fetching archive for llvm-3.3
[...]

Is there a bug, or how can I enforce the switch to -3.4 in macports?

Thanks

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers policykit), if any.

Sorry, I went to check the formatting link, and it wiped out my post. It seems to me in recent tickets I've raised there were clickable formatting buttons, which seem to have gone away.

Will try to do better in future!

Thanks

The port select mechanism only affects end-user use. Ports’ own dependencies are not affected by your port select choices.

policykit doesn’t depend on LLVM, and I don’t see any llvm-* ports in its recursive dependency tree. Could you provide the output from these commands?

$ port outdated
$ port rdeps policykit and active

Attached.

redps shows policykit --> mozjz17 --> clang-3.3 --> llvm-3.3

Thanks

mozjs17 no longer requires clang-3.3 on Tiger as of r135937. There is one more remaining Tiger problem, for which #45832 remains open.
