 In trying to install Matplotlib (python plotting util)... i ran into
 trouble with wxWidgets-python failing. Someone posted a workaround
 involving installing Mesa which I followed here:
 http://www.mail-archive.com/macports-
 users at lists.macosforge.org/msg19905.html

 Apparently, in the process of doing this I screwed up (by upgrading?)
 OpenSSL, which breaks a lot of things I use including Git.

 In attempting to resolve this, I tried to follow the advice from this
 other MacPorts ticket: #19122
 which specifically recommends:
 {{{
 sudo port deactivate openssl
 sudo port activate openssl at 0.9.8k_0
 }}}

 running the first command produces the following error for me.

 {{{

 }}}

 I am unclear how to proceed to break the least amount of stuff. Please
 don't tell me i have to uninstall each of these things seperately and then
 reinstall them!
