port upgrade ignores installed variant

[mjs@…]

I currently have an ImageMagick variant installed:

boom:~$ sudo port installed | grep ImageMagick
  ImageMagick @6.5.2-4_1+no_plus_plus+no_x11+q16 (active)

How do I upgrade this variant? If I try upgrading ImageMagick itself, it tries to haul in X11 bits and pieces:

boom:~$ sudo port upgrade ImageMagick
--->  Fetching xorg-bigreqsproto
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for xorg-bigreqsproto
--->  Extracting xorg-bigreqsproto
--->  Configuring xorg-bigreqsproto
^C

Specifying the variant explicitly (which I don't think should be necessary) doesn't help either:

boom:~$ sudo port upgrade ImageMagick +no_plus_plus +no_x11 +q16
--->  Configuring xorg-bigreqsproto
--->  Building xorg-bigreqsproto
--->  Staging xorg-bigreqsproto into destroot
--->  Installing xorg-bigreqsproto @1.0.2_0
^C

A similar problem is #12275. That has been marked closed however the problem does not seem to be fixed.

This is possibly a dupe of #8221, although that's 3 years old, so I'm not sure.

That was closed as a duplicate of #11891. As is this ticket.

Oops. That one was closed.

What version of macports are you running? The fixes are available in 1.8.0.

Reporters already get emails.

Yes, this is a dupe.

Yup, that's the one, and you'll see the fix when the next MacPorts version is released (1.8), hopefully soon.
