 == Summary

 Installing git-annex fails with what appears to be a GHC error.

 == Expected results

 git-annex should install with "sudo port install git-annex" on macOS 14.2
 with Xcode 15.1 and MacPorts 2.8.1 installed on Apple Silicon (M1 Max).
 This is the first port installed on the computer.

 == Actual results

 git-annex does not install. The main.log indicates a problem with GHC.
 Multiple versions of GHC may have been installed: 9.6.3_0 and 8.10.7.

 It looks like the error comes from ghc 8.10.7.

Comment (by ryandesign):

 It builds for me on macOS 12 x86_64, or at least it gets past the problem
 you saw; I canceled the build after 7 minutes because I didn't want to
 wait.

 I see a new version of git-annex is available. Maybe updating the port
 would help, or hurt.
