ing a flag-file into existence, doing an Apple update, and deleting the flag afterwards. That's tolerable, but it's a chore, and a worrying one.

If you first sudo port clean gpgme, update, then upgrade it, it should work now. It did for me. There was a missing include. H. On 05/08/2020 18:53, Jeffrey Walton wrote: > On Wed, Aug 5, 2020 at 1:26 PM FritzS - gmx wrote: >> >> Uploaded on: >> https://trac.macports.org/ticket/60930 >> >> https
