Ok, so I did my sudo port -d sync. It works & updates a whole bunch of stuff.
Retry to install py27-wxpython, but now... it is no longer there: -------------------- [UBC-PowerBook:~] uli% sudo port -d install py27-wxpython Error: Port py27-wxpython not found To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> -------------------- Sure enough; the sync deleted py27-wxpython. It added py27-wxpython-devel, which neeeds wxWidgets-devel. Trying that one, and it bombs: ---------------------------- <snipped out updating of some dependencies that worked>...
