To reduce confusion, it appears as if this "bug" that I allegedly discovered
had to do with my building a new MacPorts system the other day during the
period of time before the DNS servers took over (per Juan's messages).
However, since reading Juan's more recent posts to this mailing list, I
started over (with DNS working fine which meant that port selfupdate worked
fine) and then the cyrus-sasl2 "double variant" installed with zero
problems.

Sorry for the temporary confusion.

-T.M.


The "double variant" syntax is used to create a variant that will be
