 Dear All,

 I have now trouble in installing ghostscript-9.53.3_1 on mac OS Big Sur.
 I have found the following error messages in the log:

 {{{
 :msg:archivefetch --->  Attempting to fetch
 ghostscript-9.53.3_1+x11.darwin_20.x86_64.tbz2 from
 https://kmq.jp.packages.macports.org/ghostscript
 :debug:archivefetch Fetching archive failed: The requested URL returned
 error: 404 Not Found
 }}}

 Actually the above web site does not exist.
 Do you have any ideas to fix this bug ?

Comment:

 Based on your report, there's nothing to fix so far. Packages are not
 available for ghostscript because we are not legally allowed to provide
 them:

 {{{
 "ghostscript" is not distributable because its license "agpl" conflicts
 with license "GPL-2" of dependency "libpaper"
 }}}

 In that case, ghostscript will build from source. If ''that'' is failing,
 reopen the ticket and attach the main.log so that we can see why it
 failed.
