Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:9 RJVB]:
 > Yes, I meant the port under discussion, `shared-mime-info`. A port that
 is a dependency of others doesn't *have* to have a `+universal` variant to
 allow the dependent to install in universal build. In a sense it's
 actually better if it doesn't have the variant, to limit unnecessary
 propagation of universal installs (which take place and usually increase
 upgrade times).

 Honestly I do not know if in this case `+universal` matters for
 dependencies. You are right, in some case it does not, however certainly
 not in every such case.
