 [32719] adds ncurses as a dependency of gettext. Unfortunately, gettext is
 part of the ncurses dependency tree, which means anybody attempting to
 install ncurses today without gettext already installed will fail out due
 to the circular reference.

 I suspect the correct order of installation is ncurses, gettext, ncursesw
 (given that ncursesw is listed as a runtime dependency of ncurses), but I
 don't actually know, and anyway MacPorts doesn't support that sort of
 thing.

 I would suggest that, for the time being, [32719] should be reverted.
