Changing summary line. What MP version are you using? Some fixes have been made for similar things, but they may still be in HEAD. It would help to know what version you have.

Duplicate of #8763? Though that sure is a lot more duplicates in the list than I've seen before. For example, if I try to "sudo port uninstall freetype" it says it can't, listing 2 copies of fontconfig, 2 php5s, 2 cairos and 5 wines that depend on it, though it should only list each one once. But 401 occurrences of "gnome-vfs" in your list is disproportionate. Did you install (or try to install) gnome-vfs 401 times?

FWIW, my version of "port" is usually close to HEAD (sometimes I lag a month in upgrading. It's possible that I did indeed install/upgrade gnome-vfs that often, as it seems to change a lot. I think it's more likely that there are several ways to get duplicate entries in the prereq list.

I'm no longer interested in this bug; I finally gave up, told my Panther users they were no longer supported, and upgraded to Tiger myself. I just wiped my DarwinPorts install (actually, the upgrade did it for me), and started from scratch. Since then I haven't noticed this issue, but I've also been a lot more conservative about upgrades.

Calling this a duplicate of #8763, since this appears to just be an extreme case.
