Using MacPorts 1.430 on a MacBook Pro with 10.4.9, I am unable to build the teTeX +nox11 variant:

$ sudo port -v fetch +nox11 Error: Error executing nox11: can't set "depends_lib": invalid depspec: Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

The regular build works fine. Could there be a bug due to the fact that using this variant results in an empty depends_lib?

I'm seeing the same thing with another port. The variant I am trying to use does a lib_depends-delete and removes all the dependencies defined in the global section. At the moment I'm using MP 1.4.3. I think a bug has crept in. DEBUG: can't set "depends_lib": invalid depspec: while executing "set depends_lib [ldelete ${depends_lib} $val]" (procedure "depends_lib-delete" line 5) invoked from within "depends_lib-delete port:mysql5 port:fping" (procedure "variant-agent_only" line 6) invoked from within "variant-agent_only" invoked from within "catch "variant-${name}" result" Mark
