git-core depends on curl depends on curl-ca-bundles
If I update curl, I have two concurrent versions installed. Uninstalling the
obsolete one is not working as git-core has been built dependent on the old
curl version. So I have to uninstall or force-uninstall git-core, remove the
obsolete curl and install git-core again.
If you use port -Rn upgrade all depending ports will be rebuild. Are you
sure git-core builds against a specific version and does not work with
the new one? Usually there is no need to rebuild dependents.
I think you ran into this message which makes you think it depends on
the old version. Dependencies are (not yet) version aware, so you need
to use port -f uninstall to remove a port which has dependents - even if
another version is still active. Uninstalling inactive versions is
always safe.
And - not being blasphemic there - are there any improvements concerning
dependency handling in the MacPorts pipeline? Maybe changing the underlying
engine to Portage? ;-)
Gentoo already has a project for portage in a prefix on alternative systems.
