yelp @3.17.2_0 does not upgrade to @3.18.1_0

[udbraumann]

I was trying to upgrade yelp to 3.18.1_0, since I found 3.17.2_0 outdated:

yelp                           3.17.2_0 < 3.18.1_0

However, calling

$ sudo port -s upgrade yelp
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
--->  No broken files found.

nothing substantial happens.

Similarly,

gnome-online-accounts          3.8.5_2 < 3.18.3_0

also remains as is.

Ideas?

What version of OS X are you building on? The updated versions are only supported on 10.9+. 10.8 and earlier (that don't support libc++) only support the older legacy versions.

10.6.8

This is the very first time in many years that ports I am using got fully incompatible with my platform.

$ sudo port dependents yelp
eog depends on yelp
gedit depends on yelp
gthumb depends on yelp

Do you expect that programs from this list will soon insist to find yelp @3.18.1_0 and later?

The version of yelp that you have had installed up to this point (3.17.2) continues to be current version for your platform and works just fine so no need to worry. Same goes for gnome-online-accounts (3.8.5).
