>Description:
	With the introduction of mtr 0.84, the mtr authors introduced very
	broken/stupid code that pertains to the inclusion of glib, with
	further assumptions made regarding IPv6 support.  These bad
	decisions affect all the BSDs, including OS X.

	The ""solution"" noticed on FreeBSD was to pull in glib as a
	dependency.  However, this is not the correct solution.

	For full details/analysis/code/etc., please see these 3 posts
	on freebsd-ports@

	I should note that I CC'd sunpoet at freebsd.org when sending the
	above freebsd-ports@ mail:

>How-To-Repeat:
	n/a
>Fix:
	Choices as I see them:

	a) Mark the port as BROKEN until mtr 0.85 or newer comes out (no ETA)
	b) Roll the port back to the previous version (0.82)
	c) Backport the fixes applied to master/head in github (this will
	   take some effort, and honestly I'm not willing to do it since
	   rolling back to 0.82 is easier for me to do)
