Description
The pymol package needs to have the syntax...
require_active_variants tcl "" corefoundation
require_active_variants tk "" quartz
honored in a reasonable manner during the package building/installaton. In particular, starting from a clean installation of MacPorts 2.3.2 on Yosemite, I executed...
sudo port -d install pymol
After the build, this results in an unusable installation of pymol because the require_active_variants fields were not honored at either the tcl/tk package build times or when the pymol package is built. I was forced to manually execute...
sudo port -d install tcl -corefoundation
sudo port -d install tk -quartz
to unbreak pymol afterwards. While I understand it is likely impossible for port to look ahead and know about the require_active_variants requirements of pymol when tcl/tk, I don't understand why they can't be honored at the time pymol is built by forcing the reinstallation of tcl and tk with the appropriate variants as dictated by the require_active_variants settings in the pymol Portfile.
