Well, the package exists: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/R/R-gamlss.dist/Portfile And it is specified as a dependency: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/bb1078798903a2c3922cc5f5d3fa459d088d722d/R/R-gamlss/Portfile#L19

I do not know how the base handles this and what may go wrong. It was working before, and should work, I believe.

Could it be the same bug in the base when it mistakes (again) test dependencies for build dependencies? Both packages share R-distributions3, maybe a bogus cycle is seen by the base?

The revision of R-gamlss.dist was not increased when R was updated to 4.4, so R-gamlss.dist is still installed in the 4.3 directory and is indeed "not available" in the 4.4 directory.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The other ports in the R directory that were not revbumped for 4.4 are R-assertive.numbers, R-new.dist, and R-Delaporte.

Oh, I am sorry. I relied on BBedit, but looks like for w/e reason these were omitted. Could you handle this directly or should I make a PR?
