Comment (by ryandesign):

 I don't know why that would vary by OS version but it might vary by
 MacPorts version. Do you have the same MacPorts version on both machines?

 mpstats should have /opt/local/libexec/port-tclsh as its shebang line. Can
 you confirm that is the case for you on the machine where you see this
 problem?

 /opt/local/libexec/port-tclsh used to be a symlink to
 /opt/local/libexec/macports/bin/tclsh8.6. Since MacPorts 2.10.6, it has
 been changed to a wrapper script. The change was made on April 18, 2025;
 see comment:ticket:72359:19. Maybe that is a relevant difference between
 your MacPorts installations. Has one of them been updated to the post-
 April 18 code and the other hasn't?

 Please ensure your MacPorts is up to date on both machines. Version
 "2.10.99" just means some version of master, but could be from either
 before or after this base change was made, so please update to the latest
 version of master to see if the problem persists.
