 Per the transcript below, when I try to install youtube-dl, at the point
 where "Configuring cmake" appears, a panel appears onscreen telling me I
 need to install Java for the java command-line tool. I have done this, and
 the error continues to appear. If I enter the command "which java", it
 replies: "/usr/bin/java", so it appears to be installed.

Comment:

 Your transcript shows that youtube-dl had already been successfully
 installed prior to you running `sudo port install youtube-dl` this time.
 It also shows that for some reason physfs is considered broken, and
 rebuilding it required cmake, which was unable to be configured for some
 reason.

 /usr/bin/java is part of macOS and is always there, even if Java is not
 installed. If Java is installed, /usr/bin/java runs it; if not, it
 displays the dialog box you encountered.

 Please attach the main.log file mentioned in the transcript so that we can
 see what the problem was. I don't think cmake requires Java (it didn't
 used to), so it might be something else.
