René,

Thanks for the help. I have (fortunately) had little need to use port commands 
other than update and upgrade. When I learned that the problem was due to KMM 
upgrading before gwenhywfar4, I was still reluctant to attempt the reinstall on 
my primary machine. I went through the steps on the 32-bit iMac and, since that 
worked, re-installed KMM on the MacBook.

The reliability of MacPorts unfortunately encourages those of us who depend on 
a few ports (but would, I suppose, be classified as “casual” users) to lose 
sight of the underlying structure.

Once again, I am grateful for your help. The Internal Revenue Service will soon 
demand its due, and I was not looking forward to reconstructing records!

Stan
