xorg-libxcb @1.16.1 does not upgrade on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

I have installed:

  xorg-libxcb @1.16_0+python311 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 8' archs='ppc' date='2024-02-03T11:12:15+0100'

When I try to upgrade port installs python_select-312 instead:

Same faulty behaviour on intel Sonoma 14.3.1.

I don't think this is specific to xorg-libxcb. xorg-libxcb just depends on python312. python312 depends on python_select-312.

What is the bug report? The fact that python_select-312 is being installed at all? Or is it that python_select-312 fails to install?

Replying to ryandesign:

I don't think this is specific to xorg-libxcb. xorg-libxcb just depends on python312.

Only one variant depends on this version. As I wrote I have xorg-libxcb @1.16_0+python311 installed which does not get upgraded.

What is the bug report?

That instead something else and unwanted gets installed, no upgrade process is started.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok. That's not a bug. Yes, you have the +python311 variant selected, but per your output above it wasn't a requested variant; it was merely the default variant at the time. Today, +python312 is the default variant of that port and MacPorts is upgrading you to that new default. This feature was new in MacPorts 2.7.0; see #46956.
