Thank you, Christopher and Ruben. I repeated versions of port -f activate xxx 15 times each followed by another port upgrade outdated and was hopeful that the process would eventually succeed. However, I have now encountered the following situation:

Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug. Here attached is the indicated log. I’m sorry that I don’t understand all of the intricacies involved here. Should I try another port upgrade outdated? Jerry
