Comment:

 "worksforme?" That's a crap answer for a problem that's biting a lot of
 users.

 Look at how many duplicates of this bug are in the database. It's a
 '''real''' problem that's causing '''real''' headaches for people, and the
 fact that it can be hacked around by those in the know does nothing to
 mitigate its severity. Doing a "port upgrade outdated" should just work
 for users, even if they've just installed XCode 4.4, even if they had an
 earlier version of XCode installed before that.

 Sure, removing the /Developer directory lets the whole process complete --
 assuming users don't have any real reason to keep XCode 4.2 around. But
 it's an ugly workaround, and it's really hard to find. Do we honestly
 expect everyone to end up finding and reading through this particular bug
 report? No. And for those users, ports will just be broken.

 This is a make system issue that should be trivial to fix for anyone
 familiar with how the whole ports build setup works. Unfortunately, I'm
 not in that camp or I'd send in a patch.
