Comment (by rmottola):

 this is some sort of chicken-and-egg problem.
 rev-upgrade detects a rebuild of gtk2:

 {{{
  gtk2 @2.24.33+quartz
  py27-pygtk @2.24.0+quartz
  librsvg @2.54.5
  appstream-glib @0.8.2
  gtk-osx-application-gtk2 @3.0.1
  gimp2 @2.10.32+python27+quartz
 }}}

 but it starts rebuilding gimp2... which fails. What is the best way to
 force an upgrade?
 I did try to "build and install@ gtk this way:


 {{{
 sudo port -v build gtk2 +quartz
 sudo port -v install gtk2 +quartz
 }}}

 This is suboptimal, because it will set this port as requested and one
 must match the variants, but also because it ''does not work'': as install
 ended rev-upgrade still detected gtk2 as broken.
 How can I best force an upgrade rebuild?
