Hello all,

For some time, `port bump` has been unreliable, often failing to update
Portfile checksums consistently—especially when multiple checksums are
present [1]. This currently requires maintainers to manually edit Portfiles
to remove or comment out extra checksums so that `port bump` functions
correctly, which adds significant friction to the workflow.

I have submitted a pull request to address this:
https://github.com/macports/macports-base/pull/378

This PR improves checksum matching for better reliability. As a bonus, it
drops the use of external sed(1) by doing everything in pure Tcl.

I would appreciate a review and merge of these changes. Once in, this will
allow us to begin developing a new port subcommand to automatically update
Portfiles and checksums based on the latest version reported by livecheck,
which would make keeping ports up-to-date significantly easier.

Best regards,

Herby G
