 be done if depreciated any packages. To any end users, printing the error
 without any further hints what need to do next is not quite helpful.

 What would you have the llvm-3.5 port print? It doesn't know why you have
 asked to install it, only that you have asked to install it, and it knows
 that it is not compatible with your OS, so that's what it prints.

 the linker is resolving that to the MacPorts-provided one instead of the
 system-provided one.

 maybe something is linking against libnetwork.dylib.

 I notice that /usr/lib/libnetwork.dylib links against
 /usr/lib/libpcap.A.dylib. Why isn't it considered a bug that the linker
 has decided to ignore that full path and go looking for it in the MacPorts
 directory instead? What's the point of using absolute paths for
 install_names if the linker ignores them?
