Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
I am suffering immensely from a stupid error. I am trying to install a new MacBook Air with MacPorts and TeXLive 2013. After I finish installing MacPorts and do
> sudo port install texlive +full
the links to xdvi, more accurately the links in
/opt/local/bin/xdvi and /opt/local/libexec/texlive/texbin/xdvi
which links to
/opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/xdvi
are now broken, since the latter does not exist at all.
I still use xdvi(k); would someone please add xdvi support back

Does texlive-bin -x11 still install the broken symlinks?

They're installed by texlive-basic, which doesn't have a x11 variant. I don't think that adding one (and making sure it depends on texlive-bin +x11) is worth the trouble to avoid a broken symlink.

Replying to dports@…:

How about at least make sure that texlive +full does texlive-bin +x11? That is what "full" means to my understanding ....

It now does, unless you specifically request -x11. This is how it was supposed to work.
xdvi support is available in the +x11 variant, which is supposed to be enabled by default but was recently inadvertently dropped from the default variants list.
Defaults fixed in r111334.
To correct your installation,
sudo port install texlive-bin +x11(or +motif if you prefer the Motif interface)
