 > So, you've configure MacPorts to extract using MacPorts lbzip2, and
 MacPorts lbzip2 requires legacy-support to work

 Isn't this this the default setting? (And none of the files in
 `/opt/local/etc/macports` contains the word `lbzip2`, just sets of file
 name extensions, commented.) It had worked before, I think. Longer time
 ago I did not have `lbzip2` installed. Besides, since I could handle the
 problem why can't `port`?

 > (ever since the fix for #65878), and you're upgrading legacy-support,
 which means that at the moment that MacPorts wants to extract the new
 legacy-support, it can't, because MacPorts lbzip2 has been broken by
 deactivating the previous version of legacy-support.

 A workaround with `gtar` exists. And I never knew that dependency.

 > This is why it's a good idea, if you want to have MacPorts use lbzip2,
 to have it use a copy of it ''not'' installed by MacPorts (and that does
 ''not'' use any libraries installed by MacPorts).

 Or get rid of it since it has become to complex, breaking compatibility.
 This special utility is not necessary.
