 I am trying to install VLC, but I am running into errors... See ticket
 #45822 (summary below).

 '''VLC +dbus+full+jack+qtkit+quartz+shout+smb+svg'''
 {{{
 Error: Requested variants "+quartz" do not match those the build was
 started with: "+x11".
 Error: Please use the same variants again, or run 'port clean gtk2' first
 to remove the existing partially completed build.
 Error: Failed to install gtk2
 }}}

 After installing '''gtk2 +x11''' and restarting VLC install:

 {{{
 --->  Fetching archive for py27-pygtk
 Error: org.macports.archivefetch for port py27-pygtk returned: gtk2 must
 be installed with +quartz.
 Error: Failed to install py27-pygtk
 }}}


 At this point I cleared the MacPorts out again and restarted with:
 '''port install VLC +dbus+full+jack+qtkit+quartz+shout+smb+svg''+x11'''''
 {{{
 --->  Computing dependencies for VLCError: librsvg: Variant x11 conflicts
 with quartz
 Error: Unable to execute port: Error evaluating variants
 }}}

 I will be willing to help fix the issue if required

 > That looks like an error in port:gtk2, possibly because the +quartz
 variant doesn't install certain files which are expected to be present in
 the destroot but more probably because a post-destroot block omits a
 `${destroot}` variable somewhere.

 It seems extremely unlikely to me that a missing `${destroot}` would have
 gone unnoticed so long. I'm not sure what led you to this conclusion.
 Certainly not the portion of the main.log file quoted above, which
 contains no relevant information; the real error is earlier.
