 I'm not sure if this is a bug (either in the Portfile or in macports-base)
 or if I just overlook something, so take it as a quesions for now.

 I currently have the following ports installed:
 {{{
   SuiteSparse_AMD @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64'
 date='2018-10-22T13:25:38+0200'
   SuiteSparse_CAMD @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64'
 date='2018-10-22T13:25:38+0200'
   SuiteSparse_CCOLAMD @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64'
 date='2018-10-22T13:25:39+0200'
   SuiteSparse_CHOLMOD @7.0_0+openblas (active) platform='darwin 18'
 archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:26:18+0200'
   SuiteSparse_COLAMD @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64'
 date='2018-10-22T13:25:39+0200'
   SuiteSparse_config @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64'
 date='2018-10-22T13:25:37+0200'
   SuiteSparse_SPQR @7.0_0+openblas (active) platform='darwin 18'
 archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:27:36+0200'
   SuiteSparse_UMFPACK @7.0_0+openblas (active) platform='darwin 18'
 archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:27:07+0200'
 }}}

 Right now, macports wants to downgrade all of these to version 6.0_0.
 Looking for a reason, I couldn't find one. The SuiteSparse Portfile wasn't
 modified [[https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/commits/master/math/SuiteSparse|since August]] and the version
 number for all of these subports are totally different in the Portfile
 (e.g. [[https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/master/math/SuiteSparse/Portfile#L64|2.4.6 for
 SuiteSparse_AMD]]).

 So where are these versions (7.0 --> 6.0) actually coming from? Does
 macports have issues with handling different versions for different
 subports?
