Comment (by ryandesign):

 You probably created most of these symlinks by running `sudo port select
 python python25` back in 2023. If you no longer want them, you would now
 run `sudo port select python none`.

 The rst2s5 symlink was probably created by running `sudo port select
 doc_utils py312-docutils` back in 2024. If you no longer want it, you
 would run `sudo port select doc_utils none`. Or if you've already
 uninstalled the docutils_select port, you can delete the symlink manually.
