Comment:

 The vlc port no longer builds vlc;
 [changeset:ddd6f4336c9cb206f76bc438e355a929425676b0/macports-ports now] it
 just installs a binary. As you see, it tries to install 3.0.11.1, but the
 last version that worked on 10.5 was 2.0.10, so this is not going to work.
 The reason it's failing is probably that the disk image format it's using
 is too new for your OS.

 If you need VLC on older macOS, your best bet is to get it from the "Older
 versions" section at the bottom of [https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-
 macosx.html the vlc downloads page]. There's no advantage to trying to
 install it with MacPorts, since it will never be updated again and nothing
 in MacPorts depends on it either. (Ok, I wouldn't have thought that
 anything would depend on it. I see that phonon-backend-vlc does, which
 surprises me.)

 On the other hand, since they tell you on that page what vlc versions work
 on what OS versions, it wouldn't be hard to modify the port to install the
 right version of vlc for the user's OS version.
