Trying to upgrade fontforge resulted in the following error:

I found this problem described here:

They say it can be caused by having a previous version installed. So
try to deactivate it before building.
sudo port deactivate fontforge
sudo port clean fontforge
sudo port install fontforge
The reason for such a long error message is that two more attempts
were made following the first failure. This type of repeating has
been happening periodically for some upgrade failures where
MacPorts does not want to give up in upgrading.
This is just how MacPorts works today. Every time a dependency is
encountered while upgrading a list of ports, it will try to build
that dependency, even if it has already tried and failed before.
