I was just upgrading gtk2 to get it compiled against a package that was recently upgraded so I could remove the deactivated version of a port (don't remember which port as it was upgraded during a port -dRu outdated process). I noticed that gtk2 was taking a very long time to install, and then saw that it was downloading... again. When I looked at the path it was installing into it was going to /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gtk2/gtk2/gtk2/gtk2/gtk2/.... to the 17th gtk2 nested directory. I checked each of those directories and noticed that for some reason gtk2 is downloading it's binary over and over again and recompiling itself, and appears to be stuck in an endless loop.

This is the ticket for this problem: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11971
I'm using OS X 10.4.11 on a macbookpro model 1,1 and using the macports version 1.60 that was just released. I don't know what version of xcode I've got, could someone let me know where I can get that info?
Go to /Developer/Applications/, click on Xcode, and choose Get Info from the File menu. Then look at the Version field in the Info window.
Not sure what else might be needed to help track down or resolve this problem. Oh, the command I used that resulted in this issue was 'sudo port -dfR upgrade glib2 gtk2 atk cairo' so I'm not sure if the command I used somehow managed to cause this issue.
That'll be it. Please do not use -f in combination with sudo port upgrade. Here's a ticket about that: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12989
