Comment:

 Ah: you have found a dependency cycle. c-ares depends on cmake which
 depends on curl. So to avoid this, you should first install curl without
 the +ares variant. Then later you can reinstall it with the +ares variant.

 We do have a cmake-bootstrap port that has no dependencies that can be
 used to break dependency cycles in situations where we only need a basic
 cmake. For example, we use it for the brotli port, since curl depends on
 brotli when using the +brotli variant. We should probably switch the
 c-ares port to using cmake-bootstrap as well.
