Thank you.
I had all kinds of other issues as well, so I was starting to wonder my
MacPorts registry was corrupted
E.g. clamav-server did not activate because an older
/opt/local/etc/clamd.conf.macports.orig was still there. Or a just
installed certbot that on clean quits with an error because certbot is
not installed. But iyt may have been macports/sources.conf location
confusion or an interrupted update..
Anyway, is there a way to rebuild the registry (without losing all my
configs in /opt/local/etc and elsewhere)? Just in case it is corrupted?
That isn't the symptom that registry corruption would typically give
you, but sure, rebuilding the registry entry for a port is easily
accomplished by reinstalling it:
sudo port -n upgrade --force someport
