Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [ticket:71182 szhorvat]:
 > If you are CC'd on this issue, then you are the maintainer of a port
 that has dependencies that no longer exist. Note that test dependencies
 were also included. Please search the list below to find your ports.

 "Megatickets" like this are hard to deal with. I'm not going to be able to
 keep up with the volume of email notifications on such a ticket, and it's
 difficult to keep track of what's been fixed and what remains to be fixed.
 This is why I prefer one issue per ticket so that each ticket can be
 marked fixed when it's fixed.

 In many cases, the maintainer of the port is not who needs to fix the
 problem. For example:

 > {{{
 > buildbot-0.8 [ryandesign at macports.org ryandesign, openmaintainer] :
 py27-sqlalchemy
 > }}}

 I had nothing to do with someone else removing a dependency of this port
 which is an essential component of MacPorts infrastructure. The solution
 would be for whoever removed it to reinstate it.
