Comment (by m74z00219@…):

 Hi and you're most welcome.

 To give a little more context, I had been attempting to install the port
 youtube-dl, which depends on ffmpeg, which depends on gnutls, which
 depends on nettle. While I'm not exactly sure of what constitutes a
 "broken" port (perhaps being interrupted during build?), I believe that
 list must have comprised the aforementioned ports. Unfortunately, I've
 already uninstalled youtube-dl and its dependencies. However, I did just
 just attempt to install nettle again (new log attached).

 My Xcode version is 6.3.2 (build 6D2105). My clang, which I actually
 upgraded today in hopes that it would help with nettle, is version 3.7.0
 (trunk 239386); Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.4.0; Thread model: posix.

 Since I uninstalled youtube-dl and it's dependencies -- save nettle -- I'm
 not sure if ""sudo port -v rev-upgrade"" will yield much. My eyes don't
 see anything meaningful, so I attached it to this ticket.
