Comment (by cooljeanius):

 So, I was just testing to see if this still occurs, and apparently there's
 a new error now:
 {{{

 Checking in `config.log`, I see:

 Seems like a symptom of the port just being really old and outdated in
 general... is it still even needed any longer? As much as I hate seeing
 ports get deleted, that might actually be the most sensible option here...
