Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [ticket:36612 nerdling]:
 > When MacPorts encounters a path:-style dependency, it will allow a non-
 MacPorts file that is within the MacPorts prefix to satisfy the
 installation. This doesn't make sense, since MacPorts should be master of
 its own directories

 What do you suggest that MacPorts should do instead? If we attempt to
 install the port that should provide those files, activating the port will
 fail because the files it wants to install already exist.
