sudo port install python26 ---> Computing dependencies for python26Error: Internal error: port lookup failed: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?) Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
Using -> as an indication of dependency, it turns out:
python26 -> tk -> Xft2 -> xrender -> xorg-libX11 -> xorg-libxcb -> xorg- xcb-proto -> python26
So there is a circular dependency making everything in the chain and anything that depends on something in that chain uninstallable. In my case, that is git-core.
