I did my normal upgrade round, that is, update macOS, then a clean update of MacPorts and a reinstall of my port collection. This is generally routine for me.
But this now fails at dovecot (which is nasty,. I really need that mail server, now running on the Linux backup server) port -N install dovecot +apns +solr ---> Configuring dovecot Error: Failed to configure dovecot: autoreconf failure: command execution failed Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_Users_sysbh_MacPortsDev_macports-ports_mail_dovecot/dovecot/main.log for details.
