Fix: My dovecot install fails after macOS Sonoma 14.5 update and MacPorts update

[Gerben Wierda]

Thank you.

I had all kinds of other issues as well, so I was starting to wonder my MacPorts registry was corrupted

E.g. clamav-server did not activate because an older /opt/local/etc/clamd.conf.macports.orig was still there. Or a just installed certbot that on clean quits with an error because certbot is not installed. But iyt may have been macports/sources.conf location confusion or an interrupted update..

Anyway, is there a way to rebuild the registry (without losing all my configs in /opt/local/etc and elsewhere)? Just in case it is corrupted?

From its name it seems like the AM_ICONV macro should be provided by the libiconv port but for whatever reason it's actually provided by the gettext port.
