Thank you.

This is the part that I was hoping is automatic, without updating a revision: the depends_lib would see that the “library” that the port depends upon has been updated, and rebuilds itself because of the updated library dependency. All without modification of the Portfile.

I infer from your response that this isn’t how depends_lib works.

It sounds like you're saying the privoxy-pki-bundle port would like to have the curl-ca-bundle.crt file that the curl-ca-bundle port installs converted to a different format. If so, write the privoxy-pki-bundle port so that it has depends_build port:curl-ca-bundle and performs the conversion and installs the converted file. Whenever the curl-ca-bundle port is updated to a new version, the privoxy-pki-bundle port's revision should be increased so that it rebuilds with the new bundle. A comment can be added to the curl-ca-bundle port to remind people to do that when curl-ca-bundle is updated.
