Comment:

 The error shown in the log is:

 {{{
 db_server_svc.c:591:1: error: implicit declaration of function
 '__dbsrv_timeout' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-
 declaration]
 __dbsrv_timeout(0);}
 ^
 }}}

 This is a typical problem seen with many ports when using Xcode 12 or
 later and needs the usual fixes.

 There is a newer version of the rpm software in the rpm54 port; maybe that
 will work better for you.
