Comment (by aggraef@…):

 Upgrades are broken because of this, so when will this be fixed? If
 there's no immediate fix, can this port be downgraded to a version that's
 already in the binary package repositories?

 I'm asking because I have a university course soon where students are
 supposed to install this package from MacPorts. It wouldn't be nice if
 their first experience with MacPorts was that it's broken. ;-)
