Comment:

 Presumably the previous bug that was fixed that you are referring to was
 #62227 but there's also #59951 and #62440 still open.

 The log you attached shows twelve attempts to install the port. The first
 attempt took place on February 6, which was the same day bug #62227 was
 fixed, so you might not have received the fix yet on that day.

 Attempts two through twelve contain the line `Skipping completed
 org.macports.patch (ossp-uuid)` so even if you had synced or selfupdated
 after February 6 and received the fix, MacPorts would not have attempted
 to apply the new patch. The solution to that would be to clean the port
 before trying again, as mentioned as the
 [https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets.prerequisites first thing you
 should do before filing a bug report] in our guide. So please do that
 (`sudo port clean ossp-uuid`) and of course sync (`sudo port sync`) before
 trying again.

 (To avoid this type of problem for users, whenever I modify a port's patch
 file to fix a problem, I also modify the portfile, even if the portfile
 change is an inconsequential one like a whitespace change, so that
 MacPorts will recognize that the portfile has changed and auto-clean the
 port. That wasn't done when #62227 was fixed which is why you have to
 clean manually.)
