Comment (by mojca@…):

 I can try to explain, but if you are ok asking again on the list, I would
 suggest you to do so as you might get better answers there (and there
 might be other users experiencing the same problem).

 0.) In my opinion the best temporary solution would be to deactivate the
 latest root installation and activate the previous working version. I
 don't think there have been any dramatic changes. You just need to
 remember to upgrade it again when upgrades start working.

 1.) You have to either
   * create a local repository, see
 https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-repositories.html
   * or patch
 `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/science/root6/Portfile`
 (this might be easier in the short run, you just need to be aware that the
 changes will be gone by the next time you run selfupgrade)

 2.) You need a patched version of the `Portfile`. At some temporary place
 run
 {{{
 svn co
 https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/science/root6
 }}}
 and take the `Portfile` that you get (either overwrite the file in
 MacPorts or place it in your local repository).

 3.) Run `portindex`, the `port outdated` should show you `root6` and then
 `sudo port upgrade root6`.

 (Don't forget to either update or remove the file from local repository
 after a while.)
