Comment(by p.d.mosses@…):

 Right - but if SWI-Prolog isn't the only one, it might be helpful if
 MacPorts kept a list of those it knows about, together with hints for
 users on how to resolve port install problems due to common dependencies.
 Presumably using -f to force a port install can break the installed SWI-
 Prolog binaries?

 Unfortunately SWI-Prolog has been distributing those binaries for some
 time (a year or more?) and the problem with them appears only when port
 tries to install some apparently unrelated package. SWI-Prolog changing
 its prefix for new downloads doesn't help MacPorts users who have already
 installed the old ones.
