-----------------------+--------------------
 A while back I updated to high sierra and finally got round to migrating
 macports. Installed the correct macports for high sierra, I decided
 uninstall all ports but not reinstall them. Just reinstall the ones I
 needed currently. I am currently trying to install python37 but it reports

 {{{
 #$ sudo port install python37
 --->  Computing dependencies for python37
 Error: Dependency 'openssl' not found.
 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
 Error: Processing of port python37 failed
 #$
 }}}

 I then tried to install openssl
 {{{
 #$ sudo port install openssl
 Error: Port openssl not found
 #$
 }}}

 I tried `sudo port sync` and install `python37` again, get the same error.
 I dug into
 `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/devel/`
 and found the {{{openssl}}} folder and {{{Portfile}}}, so (with my limited
 knowledge of macports) it is there.

 To check macports will install something else I tried `zlib` and `xz` and
 they both installed with no problems.
