Have you tested this recently?
I think it may have broken sometime semi-recently (as a bunch of people have reported to me that they had to install apr-util with the +no_bdb variant even though they should have been able to just install subversion with +no_bdb and had it pass the variant on ...)
Yes it works for me, but I'm still on MP 1.3.2. Do you think it is failing on 1.4?
I'm not sure, I'll have to do some testing (I haven't been asking people who've reported the problem if they're running the pre- release version, which in retrospect is kind of dumb of me).
When I reported the problem with Subversion, I was running MacPorts 1.3.2. The problem was that "sudo port install subversion +no_bdb" would still download db44, because db44 is a dependency of apr-util, and apr-util is a dependency of subversion. It would install db44, and apr-util +no_bdb, and subversion +no_bdb. When all was done, I could "sudo port uninstall db44". But I never wanted db44 to be downloaded and installed in the first place.
