Greetings, folks!

I just updated to MacPorts-2.7.1-10.14-Mojave.pkg, default install.

Terminal calls and results appended below sig.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Blessings, and thank you!,

It's a pity you cut out the list of dependencies to be installed. The problem seems to have happened there.

It looks like port "ffmpeg" depends on port "XviD", and the error occurred when trying to install port "XviD". So, think of this as a problem installing XviD rather than a problem installing ffmpeg.

Try doing `sudo port install XviD` by itself. Get that to work. Then return to `sudo port install ffmpeg`.

$ port clean --dist ffmpeg

It looks like you did not use `sudo` when cleaning ffmpeg. Perhaps try again with `sudo`?


The full, above-referenced log file, XviD/main.log, states:

for details.

    ?> the last line ?:error:main See?.?.?.?? refers to
this same file!

So, XviD/main.log is only 9 lines long? That is interesting. That says it failed soon after starting the task.

It's not surprising that the final line of XviD/main.log mentions XviD/main.log. As I understand it, the system writes to the log every message it prints on the terminal. You should expect to see every line from the terminal repeated in the log file.

I hope this helps you get a step farther,
