cyrus-sasl2 fails to install (surprising to me)

[Tabitha McNerney]

Ryan,
Thanks a ton. That was indeed the problem. However, I noticed that the
cyrus-sasl2 Portfile which had problems building today is the same (when I
diffed it) with the cyrus-sasl2 Portfile that has been around for quite some
time (several months to almost one year?). The same Portfile builds just
fine on an earlier version of MacPorts (1.4) and on both Intel and PowerPC
architectures. I fixed the Portfile after your suggestion like this:

------------------------------------------------------------

#variant kerberos darwin {
variant kerberos {
        configure.args-append --enable-gssapi --with-gss_impl=mit
}

------------------------------------------------------------

What I don't understand is, why would this problem in the Portfile manifest
itself now v.s. 8 months ago for example?

Thanks again Ryan for noticing what now seems to be obvious in that there
should not be blank spaces in the names of variants.

Best regards,

Tabitha
