New description:

 apr-util usually depends on db4, but if you install apr-util with the
 +no_bdb variant, this deletes the db4 dependency. This is how I installed
 my apr-util 1.2.2, and this is how I want it. I do not want db4 on my
 system.

 Attempting to upgrade apr-util to 1.2.6 wants to install db4, however. It
 seems that port upgrade doesn't use the variants that were specified in
 the last install when computing the needed dependencies.

 I brought this up on the mailing list:

 http://opendarwin.org/pipermail/darwinports/2006-April/033312.html

 Daniel J. Luke suggested I provide the output of port -d -v upgrade apr-
 util so here it is:

 {{{

 He also suggested I upgrade with -n (skipping the dependencies) which was
 a successful workaround.
