Replying to [comment:9 neverpanic]:
> I haven't looked at the code again, but if the Portfile currently looks
at the user's system to decide what files to install, that's wrong. It
should not be doing that, because it means that the same port with the
same variants might look different on different user's systems. We
currently don't distribute binaries for non-default variants by default,
but if we did (or we'd build one for dblatex +mactex because something
depends on it), users might end up installing a binary package that was
created according to what the buildbot's filesystem looks like.
Well, with the +mactex variant, those style files are installed out of the
Macports hierarchy. And MacTex tools could also change data here so anyway
this space might look different on different user's system.
I'll try to test installation of a dblatex +mactex variant to see what's
happening here.
