 I'm trying to install sphinx on a 2021 MacBook Pro (M1 chip) running OS
 12.4 and it fails because it says that a file already exists, but the
 installer created that file itself. I ran "port clean sphinx" before
 trying again, and confirmed that the file did not exist at that point, but
 I got the same error. Here's the error message. The full log is attached
 as a file.

 Error: Failed to destroot sphinx: error copying
