Comment (by lcvisser):

 Attached is  is the full dependency list that I was presented with today,
 after installing Sequoia and trying to reinstall ports (from source). More
 often than not one of these packages fails at some point in time (today it
 was `py312-pluggy`). It seems that at least 90% of these dependencies
 should not be there.

 I use `wget` a lot and with every update I spend probably a day to get it
 to work again. I'd be very happy to spend that time in contributing to a
 solution (cutting down the dependency list) instead, but not sure where to
 start. Some pointers?
