Thank you. That solves a lot of the mystery. I did encounter a small mystery:
gerben@hermione ~ % port installed rdepof:dovecot The following ports are currently installed: autoconf @2.71_1 (active) automake @1.16.5_0 (active) bison @3.8.2_2 (active) bison-runtime @3.8.2_0 (active) bzip2 @1.0.8_0 (active) flex @2.6.4_0 (active) gettext @0.21_0 (active) gettext-runtime @0.21_0 (active) gettext-tools-libs @0.21_0 (active) libiconv @1.16_1 (active) libtextstyle @0.21_0 (active) libtool @2.4.6_13 (active) lz4 @1.9.3_1 (active) m4 @1.4.19_1 (active) ncurses @6.3_0 (active) openssl @3_2 (active) openssl3 @3.0.1_0+legacy (active) pkgconfig @0.29.2_0 (active) xz @5.2.5_0 (active) zlib @1.2.11_0 (active) gerben@hermione ~ % port installed rdependentof:apache-solr8 The following ports are currently installed: dovecot @2.3.17_0+apns+solr (active) Or, it seems port knows apache-solr8 is requested by dovecot but not the other way around.
