Comment (by ryandesign):

 So far it looks like the problem may be specific to your system, possibly
 caused by having Homebrew installed, since it installs files in /usr/local
 and that can interfere with software you want to install with MacPorts. As
 Frank pointed out, the log mentions a problem with the `flex` program, so
 if you want to investigate further, you could see whether flex is working
 properly, or whether you might have a conflicting flex provided by
 Homebrew.

 I see from your log:

 {{{
 :debug:archivefetch archivefetch phase started at Tue Sep 26 17:40:26 CEST

 }}}
 {{{
 :msg:archivefetch --->  Attempting to fetch

 :debug:archivefetch Fetching archive failed: The requested URL returned

 }}}

 Note that we produced a binary of this port for High Sierra on Sep 27 2017
 so if you `sudo port clean gdbm` and try installing it again, you should
 get that binary and thereby bypass whatever problem exists on your
 computer. However, that problem may in the future cause other ports to
 fail to build.
