Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:32835 lucinda.marchant@…]:
 > I was using GIT and SVN successfully, but when I tried to install ports
 for PHP/Apache/MYSQL and related ports apt-util and other dependencies
 would fail, either stating a .gz file could not be found

 We would need to see the error message exactly. But it could be #29223, in
 which case you should "sudo port clean" the affected port and try again.

 > or "Requested variants "" do not match original selection "+mysql5"."

 This definitely means you need to "sudo port clean" the affected port and
 try again (or, select the "+mysql5" variant again, as you apparently did
 the last time you tried).

 > In an attempt to resolve this I have removed all my ports and retried
 with no luck and have removed and reinstalled macports completely.  I have
 so far tried to install SVN.  It appears to install 1.7.2 without error
 but will not function.  It is not recognising changes made with fresh
 checkouts (since latest SVN re-install) and for a check out I made in the
 orginal SVN port install claims that the SVN version is below 1.7 and will
 not do anything.

 svn works fine for others; if you cannot get it to work you should post
 more details, including the exact commands you ran, what happened, and
 what you expected to happen instead.
