Add Sticky Notewhereas eerie replicant Mac monks really are everywhere, standing over your shoulder in their charcoal pullovers, smirking with amusement at your hopelessly inferior OS, knowing they're better than you because they use Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.

#13054 (incorrect dependents listed, require -f uninstall to fix) – MacPorts
