Only because there are several threads about this issue on S-E and I was on a
different machine when I wrote to the ML.. And you must have seen that this is
about a "KDE 5" port, i.e. one from my macstrop tree. I didn't draw attention
to *that* because the problem has nothing to do with any specific port in
particular ;)

That's what I did. The curious thing is that my Mac and Linux MacPorts installs
both have this patch to portfetch.tcl :
{{{

IIRC this is a a snippet I restored back in 2016 for reasons long forgotten.
As a result I see this on Linux:

but don't understand why the fallback doesn't work on Mac. Maybe a different
exception is raised there?
Anyway, I think the fallback makes sense in this kind of situation, and it
should handle bootstrap errors gracefully. That is, if port:curl isn't yet
installed the system curl will be found.

Heh, is that your way of saying that upgrading the OS isn't as trivial as Apple
would like us to believe? :)
I presume SIP is involved here?

I can try to do that, I have an idea whom I might contact about that. I don't
know if they'll care though: the KF5 Frameworks now require Qt 5.12 which no
longer supports OS X 10.11 . The last frameworks release that can be made to
build on 10.9 (with older versions for the QML-related ones) is 5.60.0 so it's
been quiet on that front for me the last 5 months or so :-/
