 * cc: jmr at macports.org (added)
  * summary:  `port -r upgrade texlive' goes endlessly looping on port
              build fail => `port -R upgrade texlive' goes
              endlessly looping on port build fail

Comment:

 It'll be hard to test this because trunk also has a fix for the
 environment variable issue that caused py25-readline to fail, but I think
 this may be the same as #10827. If that's the case, then it's not actually
 an infinite loop, but a very large amount of recursive
 dependency+dependent following (possibly exacerbated by duplicate
 dependency entries as in #8763).
