By creating a dummy /opt/local/bin/prove file?) I tried rebuilding ghostscript, and it seemed to work (though it again displayed "Updating database of binaries" and the same error as above.

It's just rev-upgrade failing to run. The actual error causing it to
fail is not "Error determining file type" etc. BTW, it's:

invalid command name ""
    while executing
"[registry::entry owner [$f path]] name"

i.e. [registry::entry owner [$f path]] returned "" because [$f path]
doesn't exist.

Should be fixed.
