 I used MacPorts to try to install mysql 8 on a Mac with M1 chip.  I got
 this error:
 {{{
 Cannot install mysql8 for the arch 'arm64' because its dependency libedit
 is only installed for the arch 'x86_64' and the configured universal_archs
 'x86_64 i386' are not sufficient.
 }}}
 How can I fix this and install mysql 8?
 I tried a workaround suggested by ChatGPT - adding arm64 to the
 universal_archs line in the configuration file and then installing libedit
 for arm64 architecture.
 This did not solve the problem. the most relevant error message seems to
 be this:
 {{{
 Failed to activate gettext-runtime: Image error: /opt/local/bin/envsubst
 is being used by the active gettext port.  Please deactivate this port
 first, or use 'port -f activate gettext-runtime' to force the activation.
 }}}

Comment (by ryandesign):

 Sounds like you copied an old MacPorts installation from an Intel Mac to
 your Apple Silicon Mac. Check out the [wiki:Migration migration
 instructions] for all the steps you should perform in that case.
