Is /usr/ports a symlink? I don't know if it results in this problem, but
IIRC the python build has some problem with that. (If you need to move the
ports directory because you didn't account for it when partitioning, use
PORTSDIR in /etc/mk.conf not a symlink).
Why not just pkg_add nmap though?

Hi Remi,
The OpenBSD Python port gave me your email, so I am sending you this report.
On a fresh install of 6.8 on a Pi4 I was trying to install nmap which has
Python 2.7 as prerequisite.
So started “make” on the /usr/ports/net/nmap directory and after a long
while I got the message that the installation of Python 2.7 failed because
‘check-clean-src’ failed, line 430 of the
/usr/ports/pobj/Python-2.7.18/Python-2.7.18/Makefile.
Essentially file
/usr/ports/pobj/Python-2.7.18/Python-2.7.18/Modules/python.o exists and
that breaks the installation. Getting rid of python.o means that the
install fails a little bit later.
So I removed the entire ports tree and reinstalled from the distribution,
and then
cd /usr/ports/lang/Python
make
and again it fails when it tries to **install** Python 2.7 with the same
error, “requires a clean source tree”
Any help will be appreciated.
Best Regards
