root6 6.14.02 installed with python36 variant when python34 variant is specified — at Version 2

Description (last modified by AlexanderLarsRobinson (Alexander Lars Robinson))

root6 was upgraded from 6.10.08 on my machine (MacOS Sierra 10.12.6) to 6.14.02, but the installation automatically switched the root6 variant from python34 to python36. Manually specifying the python34 variant results in the installation of the python36 variant instead as well.

E.g.:

sudo port install root6 @6.14.02_1+cocoa+cxx17+gcc7+graphviz+gsl+http+minuit2+opengl+python34+roofit+soversion+ssl+tmva+veccore+xml+xrootd

becomes

Installing root6 @6.14.02_1+cocoa+cxx17+gcc7+graphviz+gsl+http+minuit2+opengl+python36+roofit+soversion+ssl+tmva+veccore+xml+xrootd

This is highly undesirable behaviour, as an upgrade to one package is, in effect, removing a necessary python package and thus breaking everything.

Similarly:

sudo port install root6 @6.14.02_1+python34

became

upon which I killed it.
