Until this problem in the poppler build system is fixed, you can still have unattended upgrades of outdated ports by writing a short script such as this:



#!/bin/bash

set -euo pipefail

if [ -n "$(port -Nq outdated poppler)" ]; then
    port -Nf deactivate poppler
    port -N upgrade --no-rev-upgrade poppler
fi

port -N upgrade outdated



Save it as port-upgrade-outdated, make it executable, and run it with sudo.
