Comment (by fusionfan):

 Hm. Do I misunderstand the way  {{{ port list rdepof:XXX}}} works? If I
 run it separately for the explicit dependencies of {{{kde4-kile}}}, it
 reports that {{{kdelibs4}}}, {{{okular}}} and {{{kate}}} all depend on
 texlive. But why should they? None of them list texlive as a dependency
 according to {{{port deps}}}.

 If that is the case perhaps it isn't {{{kde4-kile}}} which is triggering
 the reinstallation of {{{texlive}}}. But how do I determine what triggers
 the reinstallation of a non-installed package when I want to perform an
 update of installed packages?

 I have attached the output of {{{port -dy upgrade kdelibs4}}}. Can
 somebody tell me why would an update of {{{kdelibs4}}} want to install
 latex packages?
