Ok, but all I wanted to do, as an end used, was update php5-mcrypt to UB, and could not.  The logical way to do that would be to `port install/update php5-mcrypt +universal`.

I had mhash installed as 'mhash @0.9.9.9_0', why was that error generated, it existed, and it was of more than adequate version.

So I am still confused.  If for whatever reason I want to build php5-mcyrpt, I should be able to, without running into error or trouble.  I could not.

Would it not be better to list mhash as a dependency for php5-mcrypt?  Seems that would have solved this.  I actually am not entirely sure why I got that error, I should not have, unless it just did not see it entirely, since it was not built as +univeral, so it was as good as not there.

If that is the case, then I can not see why it would be a bad idea to add mhash as a dependency to php5-mcrypt.

On Leopard and earlier, we default to ppc i386. On Snow Leopard and later, we default to x86_64 i386. The user can change this by changing universal_archs in macports.conf, after which any ports that were already built universal should probably be manually rebuilt by the user.

Got it, thanks, that makes sense.
