New description:

 torsocks may claim to be a replacement for tsocks, but it is not. torsocks
 is a socks proxy over tor. For use over a normal SOCKS proxy, torsocks
 appears not to work. [also see #36808]
 Is there some reason we can't keep both tsocks and torsocks in macports?

Comment:

 At the time that I marked tsocks replaced_by torsocks I thought they were
 equivalent software. Since it has now turned out that they are not, we
 should revert that.
