I usually in these cases just run "port upgrade xxxx

How can I do?
This situation should not arise. But: you can force a rebuild of a
port using:
Indeed, but we have an issue that ICU upgrades break libxml2 and that
one breaks *all* clang compilers.
Since gcc now links using clang.... also al macports clangs are broken!
So I have to force the "gcc-4.2" of xcode... that one works (and,
luckily, libxml2 still compiles with it)
sudo port -ns upgrade --force theportname
and add whatever extra variables you want to set after that.
Thanks! it worked for the purpose, but did resurrect my system only
partially, very strange, but issues that are off-topic for this mail.
I'll pinpoint exactly the remaining issues and report them separately.
Original issue "solved".
It is a delicate siuation, with Ken we were supposing to make a static
version or link statically, so that an upgrade does not "turn down"
all MacPort compilers.
