 hellanzb does not work since changes to its list of dependencies were
 made. These were changed to move hellanzb to upgrade from python 24. I
 found this out by editing the port file and replacing it with previous
 versions.

 revision:
 http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/news/hellanzb/Portfile?rev=50984

 is the one that works without issue. please roll back as all info I'm
 finding is about how to fix hellanzb manually instead of using ports cause
 macports version is said to be broken. It is from that that I realised it
 can't be hellanzb that is broken but something in the port. It appears the
 later changes to rev 50984 were made without checking.
 It's probable there are bugs in hellanzb that are causing
 incompatibilities with twisted and or other components however maintainers
 aren't actively updating this so it is better that the older references to
 python and any other components referenced there are left as is.
 I recommend that it's taken back to rev 50984 - also later versions seem
 to do stuff with openssl - not sure why - afaik hellanzb doesn't support
 ssl directly. Stunnel has to be used to enable secure connections.
