 Replying to [comment:8 drs@…]:
 > ...goes ahead with a default installation of xorg-libXt and then
 proceeds to tell me that I should have specified the '+flat_namespace'
 variant. This seems like a bug to me as well


 I agree. If a fresh empty MacPorts installation of some port 'A' results
 in an error saying "the dependant port 'B' should have been installed some
 other way", since it was 'A' that installed 'B', isn't that a failure of
 the port 'A'?

 Is it not possible to have have the openmotif port install 'xorg-libXt
 +flat_namespace' if the xorg-libXt is not already installed, and only
 throw up the error if xorg-libXt is previously installed without the
 +flat_namespace variant?
