The output of "port info pciids” from the same Docker container says:
Build Dependencies: clang-3.4 And the PortIndex on the same machine (generated using “-p macosx_19_i386”) has: depends_build port:clang-15 The MacPorts docker image used is https://github.com/arjunsalyan/macports-ubuntu <https://github.com/arjunsalyan/macports-ubuntu> (Docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/arjunsalyan/macports-ubuntu <https://hub.docker.com/r/arjunsalyan/macports-ubuntu> ) > On 24-Sep-2022, at 3:10 PM, Chris Jones <jon...@hep.phy.cam.ac.uk> wrote: > > > >> On 24 Sep 2022, at 9:52 am, Mojca Miklavec <mojca.miklavec.li...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> On Sat, 24 Sept 2022 at 10:30, Chris Jones wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I have noticed the ports web site appears to give some odd looking >>> dependencies between ports.
