#71666: error with rsync source results in perl configuration fail?

 Keywords:            |       Port:
----------------------+--------------------
 version 2.10.5 on 14.7.2

 during an update I got the message to change my sources.conf file from

 rsync://rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports.tar.gz
 to
 rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar.gz

 I edited the conf file and macports threw some errors (sorry I forget
 which). Hunting around I found instructions to use

 https://distfiles.macports.org/ports.tar.gz as a source

 that allowed me to update the port tree and ports told me I needed 29
 updates.

 'upgrade outdated' command then proceeded to fail on the first task, which
 happened to be configuring perl15.26

 Error: Failed to configure perl5.26: configure failure: command execution
 failed
 Error: See
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_perl5/perl5.26/main.log
 for details.

 (log file attached)

 I've since tried reinstalling ports using the current sonoma pkg file,
 manually deleting and recreating the sources.conf file with the rsync
 source including and not including the '/macports' bit, to no avail.
