I seem to be having a problem with port not reading my ~/.macports/macports.conf. Specifically, this macports.conf file is identical to the one in /opt/local/etc/macports except with the line "binpath /usr/texbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin" appended at the end. Yet, when I try to install a port with a dependency like "bin:tex:teTeX" (eg latex2rtf) it tries to install teTeX. Yes, the tex binary is in /usr/texbin and I selfupdated this morning. If I put that line in /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf then it works as I expect and installs latex2rtf without trying to install teTeX. I also know that sometime before the switch to MacPorts 1.5 it worked to put "binpath..." in my user macports.conf file, but I'm afraid that I can't be any more specific about when this stopped working. Is there a reasonably good way to diagnose whether there is something wrong with my setup, or is this a bug? Mark A
