I recently upgraded from macOS 13.x to macOS 14.3.1 Sonoma and started running
the MacPorts Migration process. I got interrupted and did the minor macOS
update to macOS 14.4 and tried to run the “restore_ports.tcl” script, which
worked for a while but then threw an error about the libtdbc library being
unsigned. I don’t know if this is something that changed recently. What is the
recommended procedure for fixing this? Uninstall all the ports and reinstall
them?
This is the full error:
dlopen(/opt/local/lib/tdbc1.1.7/libtdbc1.1.7.dylib, 0x0006): tried:

This is likely an unfortunate interaction with a feature of tclsh and a
feature of macOS. Tcl will look for packages in the same prefix as the
interpreter that is running the script, and in this case, the tclsh
shipped with MacPorts base finds a tdbc library installed by a port. The
former is signed and the latter is not, and macOS doesn't allow signed
executables to load unsigned libraries.
The most straightforward workaround is to use a different path for the
interpreter. /opt/local/bin/port-tclsh is a symlink to the actual
tclsh8.6 in a subdirectory, so running the script like this should work:
sudo `readlink /opt/local/bin/port-tclsh` ./restore_ports.tcl
Hopefully we can ship automatic migration in MacPorts base soon and
retire restore_ports.tcl.
