### Bug report
Trying to install py36-matplotlib from the current macports (macports version 2.5.4) fails, as py36-matplotlib depends on an obsolete package py36-pyobj-cocoa.
Here are macports instructions that demonstrate the problem
% sudo port selfupdate # updates to MacPorts base version 2.5.4 % sudo port info py36-matplotlib .... Library Dependencies: ... py36-pyobjc-cocoa ... ... % sudo port info py36-pyobjc-cocoa .... Description: This port is obsolete. ... % sudo port install py36-matplotlib +cairo ---> Computing dependencies for py36-matplotlib The following dependencies will be installed: py36-pyobjc-cocoa Continue? [Y/n]: ---> Configuring py36-pyobjc-cocoa Error: py36-pyobjc-cocoa is obsolete; please uninstall it. Error: Failed to configure py36-pyobjc-cocoa: obsolete port Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_python_py-pyobjc-cocoa/py36-pyobjc-cocoa/main.log for details. Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug. Error: Processing of port py36-matplotlib failed
Matplotlib version
- Operating system: Mac OSX 10.14.1
- Matplotlib version: py36-matplotlib @3.0.2
- Python version: Python 3.6.8 installed in /opt/local/bin/python
I believe all relevant packages were installed via macports.

Yes, the PR was merged without adequate review. The old pyobjc framework ports need to be replaced_by the new unified pyobjc port and all ports that depend on the former need to be updated to depend on the latter. That's assuming that combining all the separate frameworks into one port is even a good idea (why does upstream release them as separate pypi packages?)

I backed out the commit that broke it:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/c4ab41a6a6b3658e05339c23e23041e0980d4ea8
I'll make sure to check matplotlib when re-doing the PR.

FYI, now I was able to install py36-matplotlib, but it installed both py36-pyobjc and py36-pyobjc-cocoa.
This was an unintended side-effect of updating the py-pyobjc port (see here). For new installations py-matplotlib this could be fixed by updating the dependency as I have done in PR3370. For updating the port however there is an additional issue that ideally would get solved before merging that PR. In short, stay tuned... hopefully resolved soon!
