BUG: Infinite loop in dependency check for an upgrade

[vincent-opdarw@…]

I'm trying to upgrade liferea to 1.0.3 (from ports I've written), but I get an infinite loop in the dependency check (see attachment).

In the liferea Portfile, I use:

depends_lib lib:libgtkhtml-2:libgtkhtml

and my libgtkhtml Portfile has:

depends_lib lib:libxml2:libxml2 port:gail

Debug information produced by "port -d upgrade liferea"

This is not an infinite loop - checking deps for something like gnomeports are *slow* and painfull.

doing a port install gnome gives output like this (calculating deps) for ~1 hour deping on your boxen.

No, this is not related. I think there was a temporary bug in the dependencies (or did the reboot after the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4.5 fix it?). The dependency check for my liferea port is now immediate. So, I close the bug.

Reopening since the problem still occurs for "port upgrade" (but not for "port install").

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #10827. We have too many tickets on the same problem.
