There are missing symbols in libgio-2.0.dylib, which is installed by the glib2 port, so I suspect it has something to do with with https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrac.macports.org%2Fticket%2F54981&data=02%7C01%7Cstephen.langer%40nist.gov%7Cfd2f55278e2146cc452008d5dd12a3f3%7C2ab5d82fd8fa4797a93e054655c61dec%7C1%7C1%7C636657994483797873&sdata=mz08XDFBBXvwOwIXwHWLvNgpg2EjFUOrpNcjUlHGH%2Fg%3D&reserved=0.   I installed glib2 with +x11 and installed everything else with +quartz, which is the only way to get gtk2 working on quartz.

    This is surprising to me and probably not what we intended. If you want quartz, you're supposed to have to use the quartz variant for everything, and if you instead want x11, you're supposed to have to use the x11 variant for everything. I don't use the quartz variants so I don't have personal experience with them.

    It sounds like maybe it did. How did you invoke sudo port mpkg -- what arguments? Did any of its output show that it deactivated your x11 version of glib2 and activated the quartz version?

It *is* rebuilding glib2 when I run "port mpkg oof3d".   I have -x11 +no_x11 +quartz in variants.conf, but glib2 is installed with +x11.   Is mpkg noticing that the installed variant isn't the default variant and thinking that it has to rebuild?
