 Strangely, `links` is not a ''requested'' port, `gd2` is a dependency of
 the requested port `graphviz` but doesn't appear to depend on `links`, and
 I can't determine which port recursively depends on it either, so I don't
 know why `sudo port upgrade outdated` is even attempting to configure
 `links`.
