 Installing any port from an http repository overriding the default one
 (i.e., coming before it in sources.conf) fails: the only case in the
 switch body inside the macports::getportresourcepath procedure is not
 executed, therefore the proposedpath variable is not created and its
 subsequent manipulation  "set proposedpath [file join $proposedpath
 _resources $path]" fails.

 Example output:
 DEBUG: can't read "proposedpath": no such variable
     while executing
 "file join $proposedpath _resources $path"
     (procedure "macports::getportresourcepath" line 13)
     invoked from within
 "getportresourcepath $porturl "port1.0/variant_descriptions.conf""
     (procedure "variant_desc" line 4)
     invoked from within
 "variant_desc $porturl $variant_provides"
     (procedure "variant" line 43)
     invoked from within
 "variant svn {

     ... (details removed)

     (file "Portfile" line 20)
     invoked from within
 "source Portfile"
     invoked from within
 "$workername eval source Portfile"
     (procedure "mportopen" line 46)
     invoked from within
 "mportopen $porturl [array get options] [array get variations]"
 Error: Unable to open port: can't read "proposedpath": no such variable
