 have discovered another of the surprising ways in which this can fail. I
 haven't looked into it but off the top of my head I'm not sure why this is
 happening or how it might be corrected, short of either not using trace
 mode or removing the symlink and moving /Volumes/PEluard/opt/local back to
 /opt/local.

 earlier in the thread... The symlink has been working ok, in the past
 there were some breaks but I have straightened out most of the issues at
 this point. I don't think this is the problem. @mascguy (Christopher
 Nielsen): GIMP2 was working before, I didn't even know that gexiv2
 existed. What really changed between gexiv2 0.14.2 and gexiv2 0.14.3 ?? I
 looked for a copy of gexiv2 0.14.2 to reinstall so I can get GIMP2.10.38
 working again but I didn't come up with anything. Am I the only one having
 this issue??

 ---

 I did a clean install of macports in /opt/local. Reinstalling my Requested
 both gexiv2 and gimp2 were installed without issue...

 Ghostship:~ root# port installed  gexiv2
 The following ports are currently installed:
   gexiv2 @0.14.3_0+python312 (active)
 Ghostship:~ root# port installed gimp2
 The following ports are currently installed:
   gimp2 @2.10.38_2+python27 (active)

 Ghostship:~ root# port location gimp2
 Port gimp2 2.10.38_2+python27 is installed as an image in:
 /opt/local/var/macports/software/gimp2/gimp2-2.10.38_2+python27.darwin_19.x86_64
 Ghostship:~ root# port location gexiv2
 Port gexiv2 0.14.3_0+python312 is installed as an image in:
 /opt/local/var/macports/software/gexiv2/gexiv2-0.14.3_0+python312.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2

 Thank you for your help with this.
