I do a "sudo port selfupdate" on a regular basis.  This also does a
"sudo port sync" as well, but I do that on an even more regular basis
anyway.

        |> sudo port selfupdate
        
        MacPorts base version 1.710 installed
        Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.710
        
        The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated
        |> port deps bzrtools
        bzrtools has library dependencies on:
        	python25
        	bzr
        	graphviz
        |> sudo port uninstall bazaar

So basically MacPorts has a FUBAR -- literally as no-one recognizes the
problem :-)

So I ended up uninstalling bzrtools, then I could uninstall py25-baz and
bazaar, then I reinstalled bzrtools.

Clearly this is an error for MacPorts, nothing to do with Bazaar per se.
