port installs graphviz instead of graphviz-devel on PPC Leoprad, Mac OS X 10.5.8

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

I am reorganising the installed ports in order to get rid of requested variants when they are already the default variants. Maybe I made a mistake by selfupdateing this morning before continuing. After forcibly uninstalling graphviz (was deactivated before) and graphviz-devel port has its own ideas and tries to install graphviz instead of graphviz-devel when I ask it to:

port -vds install graphviz-devel +gdk_pixbuf +poppler +rsvg

I encountered a similar inability to follow my orders when invoked port to install gttk2 gtk3 before going to sleep. Before I had both packages uninstalled. At daylight I fouund out that gtk2 had been installed with a requested_variants flag that I want to get rid of:

pete 194 /\ port -v installed gtk2
The following ports are currently installed:
  gtk2 @2.24.33_3+x11 (active) requested_variants='+x11' platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2022-12-13T04:18:55+0100'

I'll attach the compile command used in GNU Emacs as a screenshot.

The first issue (installing graphviz-devel installs graphviz) is #55393. If you want the +rsvg variant, install graphviz-devel without the +rsvg variant first.

The second issue (gtk2 installed with the +x11 variant marked requested) should only happen if you requested the +x11 variant. You showed in the image that you did not request it on the command line. Did you perhaps request it in variants.conf?

No. These are the files on Leoprad:

-r--r--r-- 1 root admin 461  1. Sep 2014  /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 461 26. Feb 2015  /opt/mports/trunk/base/doc/variants.conf

All the examples are left as comments:

# MacPorts system-wide global variants configuration file.

# Any variants listed here are applied to all port builds. As on the
# command line, variants may be either enabled (+) or disabled (-), and
# unsupported variants are simply ignored.
#
# Each line must be a space- or tab-delimited list of zero or more
# variants.
#
# Example:
#   -x11 +no_x11 +quartz
#   +gcc48
#   +universal

Ok, then I can't explain that, and I can't reproduce it on my system.
