Comment:

 Sigh, this is still not working right.

 If you don't already have xorg-renderproto installed (which you probably
 don't), then MacPorts wants to ''install'' xorg-renderproto (as opposed to
 ''upgrade'' xorg-renderproto). But when installing, MacPorts doesn't check
 whether dependencies should be upgraded. It only checks for that when
 upgrading. So, MacPorts sees xorg-renderproto has a render dependency,
 sees that (an older version of) render is already installed, and thinks
 that's ok. It's totally not though.

 With reluctance, adding render back in as a dependency of all ports that
 it was a dependency of before, in r41828. This can be removed later once
 everyone has upgraded. (When will that be?)
