Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 I should add that it's usually a PEBKAC: once MacPorts updated python26
 and I didn't understand why, until it was done and I saw that it now had a
 different set of default variants. Another time a dependency was
 unexpectedly built that I thought I had already installed, but it turned
 out I had installed it in a different MacPorts prefix. Still, if MacPorts
 had told me why it was doing what it was doing, it might've been clearer
 to me what was going on.
