 Hello,

 I am trying to run "sudo port install dsniff" command from terminal window
 and getting an error "Error: Processing of port dsniff failed". I am
 running at OS X El Capitan (10.11).  I have attached the error message and
 log file content. Any help greatly appreciated.

 Terminal console message:

Comment:

 Please use WikiFormatting, don't forget to fill in the port name and
 maintainer email address, and use copy/paste for commands you typed and
 errors you received, so that you do not introduce typos (such as the
 auto-"corrected" dsniff -> sniff).
