Hello,

Lately I'm having troubles with recursive dependencies. Every time I
install a package on a mac mini acting as a server I have keep an eye on
the variants and the dependencies before the installation (sudo port
deps/variants pkg_name).

But lately, I've tried to install rdiff-backup and although I've got a
reasonable volume of packages to be installed and I have this
configuration in the:

devo:~ atma$ tail -n 1 /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf
-apache -apache2 +no_x11

when I try to install rdiff-backup or duplicity (incremental backup
utilities that permit remote backup via ssh/ftp) I get these packages
installed:
[...]
A dozen of xorg related packages.

Try this: <http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/contrib/port-rdeps/ >

It shows that the xorg ports are getting pulled in in via tk. It has a
'quartz' variant which will remove them.

This machine is intended to act as a
server so xorg related package should not be installed if not for
libraries. Later it tries to install xorg itself. The problem is that I
can't see the circular dependencies (say like gentoo) in order to
determine which variants cause this mess.

I don't see any evidence of circular dependencies.

Thanks. Yes, no circ-dep problem here, I was confused the issue here is that I can't see the entire deps tree. The script however solved this.

Thank you.

ps. I can resolve this by adding -quartz in the /opt/local/etc/ macports/variants.conf right?
