 Hi,

 Using the command to build a tiff (libtiff) mkpg results in a metapackage
 where only the tiff package is universal. The other two jpeg and zlib,
 contain only the default platform x86_64.

 The workaround to build jpeg and zlib packages alone and then the tiff
 metapackage doesn't work either. That's the error:
 {{{
 sudo port mpkg tiff +universal
 --->  Computing dependencies for tiff
 --->  Creating pkg for tiff-3.9.4
 --->  Package for tiff-3.9.4 is up-to-date
 Error: Requested variants "" do not match original selection "+universal".
 Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean jpeg' or specify
 the force option (-f).
 Error: Requested variants "" do not match original selection "+universal".
 Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean zlib' or specify
 the force option (-f).
 }}}

 Using the force option nothing changes (same error).
 Cleaning the packages they are rebuilt with default platform only (x86_64)
 without any error or warning reported.

 In the macports.conf file is told to build all three paltforms x86_64 i386
 and ppc (universal_archs x86_64 i386 ppc).

 If possible, I'd like to know any workaround.

 Best regards,

 Luca Severini
