Comment (by bustamitenator@…):

 Good Afternoon Ryandesign :)

 Thankyou for the feedback , I thought I had responded to the previous
 comment but obviously I failed, here is the response I posted last time.
 I did wonder why it was taking a little while to get a response :) my
 previous post below :-

 I think i have understood what you have said , I did run the port clean as
 per pre-requisites for ticket & have done what you have asked as follows
 :-

 I did not manage to get around to having a go at this util late last night
 so I ran the sudo port clean pkgconfig & it was the instruction after i
 was not certain of, i was not sure if you meant to sudo port install
 pkgconfig or minicom after waiting , so i ran the sudo port install
 minicom again & still no go.
 I ran the sudo port clean --all minicom & sudo port clean --all pkgconfig
 just to make sure all were cleared & then ran the sudo port selfupdate
 command as suggested , this went fine.. I then ran the sudo port upgrade
 outdated & this kicked back some errors..
 I then ignored those as i do not have any ports installed & then tried to
 re-install pkgconfig & minicom again but this time all i get is unable to
 read os.platform.

 This is the total output from my screen ( including mistakes - no holds
 barred ;)

 You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.

 The following ports will be rebuilt: minicom @2.7

 Continue? [Y/n]: Y

 Look forward to hearing back from you..
