 > But it succeeds without trace mode and without diffutils installed?

 No, without trace mode, it runs into a different build error, which looked
 like it would have required further investigation, and probably would have
 been more difficult to figure out what exactly the issue was, so I thought
 I could just work around it by trying trace mode instead. Also, if I try
 to uninstall `diffutils`, it warns me against doing so with the following
 output:
 {{{
 DEBUG: uninstall phase started at Sun Jan 28 14:29:37 EST 2024
 DEBUG: Executing org.macports.uninstall (diffutils)
 Note: It is not recommended to uninstall/deactivate a port that has
 dependents as it breaks the dependents.
 The following ports will break:
  useful-ports @0.1_9
  gutils-suite-core @1.1_3
 Continue? [y/N]: n
 }}}
 (the "useful-ports" one is from my local portfile repository)

 > I was not familiar with trace mode yet. What command are you running
 exactly?

 `sudo port -udct upgrade outdated` (since `abcl` is the first outdated
 port that it tries to upgrade)

 (I'm on x86_64, for reference)
