Comment (by ryandesign):

 The homepage we have listed in the port for moria (apparently also called
 umoria) no longer exists.

 It looks like a more current homepage from the same developer is
 http://remarque.org/~grabiner/moria.html and version 5.6 claims to be
 available there but the FTP server appears to be down. We could try to
 find this file elsewhere and update the port to 5.6 but since that version
 is from 2008 it may not fix these problems either.

 I also see a fork (?) called gmoria at http://gmoria.nongnu.org where
 version 5.7.2 was released in 2017, which due to being newer seems to me
 to have a much greater chance of building correctly on modern systems.

 As a user of moria, do you have an opinion on how we should update the
 port? Is gmoria a suitable replacement for moria -- should we make this
 replacement in MacPorts or stick with the original (u)moria?
