oops, trying to copy and paste the preceding text paralyzed my Terminal. So I can't even give a list of all the dependencies that did get built. I can say atk was successfully built once before in the same process(!), so it's probably not got anything to do with atk.

I believe this bug is fixed in release 1.3.1 correct?

You're right. It works fine for me. 'port upgrade installed' works well even if pTeX and doxygen are installed simultaneously. (bug#7523)

Thanks!! :-)

I haven't observed it since then, but I don't remember whether I found some hack to upgrade or if it just worked one day.

As far as I'm concerned the bug can be closed.
