I am trying to install a new MacBook Air with MacPorts and TeXLive 2013. After I finish installing MacPorts and do
sudo port install texlive +full
the links to xdvi, more accurately the links in /opt/local/bin/xdvi and /opt/local/libexec/texlive/texbin/xdvi which links to /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/xdvi are now broken, since the latter does not exist at all.

Defaults fixed in r111334. To correct your installation, `sudo port install texlive-bin +x11` (or +motif if you prefer the Motif interface) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40525#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I don't think that adding one (and making sure it depends on texlive-bin +x11) is worth the trouble to avoid a broken symlink. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40525#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

How about at least make sure that texlive +full does texlive-bin +x11? That is what "full" means to my understanding .... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40525#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
