Hi all, I somehow managed to shoot myself in the foot with an ill considered forced deactivate. A port upgrade outdated command would abort when it tried to install libgcc-devel. This must have been a new dependency of one of my installed ports (I would blame py39-scipy or py39-numpy, but I have no proof).

[y/N]: n ---> Cleaning libgcc-devel Unfortunately now jupyter notebooks stopped working (which may or may not be related to the libgcc-devel matter): File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/nbconvert/exporters/html.py", line 14, in <module> from jinja2 import contextfilter ImportError: cannot import name 'contextfilter' from 'jinja2' (/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/jinja2/__init__.py) But now my question: How can I get a consistent set of modules and dependencies back? Or is my best bet upgrading to Monterey (currently on Big Sur), when I have to reinstall all modules anyway? Best, Peter
