I'm having trouble understanding the behavior of port dependents. I'm sure it's a well known situation so perhaps someone with more knowledge can explain.
Here's what happens: port gcalctool 2.26.2 is initially installed and it really does depend on libgnomeui. port dependents libgnomeui says that gcalctool is a dependent of libgnomeui now I upgrade to gcalctool 2.26.3 which no longer depends on libgnomeui sudo port upgrade gcalctool this deactivates gcalctool gcalctool 2.26.2 and installs gcalctool 2.26.3 port dependents libgnomeui still says that gcalctool is a dependent of libgnomeui OK, I think, maybe it's referring to the 2.26.2 version which is still installed but inactive so I uninstall that one sudo port uninstall gcalctool @2.26.2_0 but port dependents libgnomeui still says that gcalctool is a dependent of libgnomeui Is this a bug or a feature? What is port dependents telling me, if anything? When dependencies change, how does port dependents get updated? Or does it?
