Ticket #51619, comment 20
initial v1 1 To state the obvious, variants suck. You all know why...only one variant can be the default. Thus the need for {{{require_active_variants}} . And the buildbots (at least for now) only build the default. Thus we only serve binaries for the default--which is pretty important for something as large as Qt.1 To state the obvious, variants suck.

The word "error" is repeated several time while masking the actual polite message to just reinstall port foo with variant +bar. My mythtv-* ports need {{{require_active_variants}}} and numerous times users have been convinced that the port is broken when they get this result.
