Comment (by Gandoon):

 Replying to [comment:1 jmroot]:
 > You appear to have set `portarchivetype txz`. That will unfortunately
 fail when xz or one of its dependencies is being upgraded (or if you ever
 uninstall the xz port) because base uses the xz command to extract the
 archives, and macOS doesn't ship it. You can get around that by creating a
 separate xz installation and configuring base to use it.

 Thank you, that is most helpful. I have run into this a few times before,
 especially with the `xz` port itself and I figured out the hard way that I
 need to manually change the ´portarchivetype´ to e.g. ´tbz2´ to make it
 work when upgrading that specific port. After doing the same for `gettext-
 runtime` as well, of course that solved the problem. Now I know that that
 seems to be required for `gettext-runtime` as well (I probably should have
 known this, but I guess I forgot about it). I don't think I ran into this
 problem like this recently so it slipped my mind.

 This is all on me I guess. You may close this ticket as it was only my
 configuration that messed things up.
