sorry, that was just an oversight (buffered mailing addressess...).

yes

yes.

I upgraded to Xcode 11 prior to taking note of the macports caveat. I've therefore downgraded as 
recommended (i.e. downloaded/installed "Command_Line_Tools_macOS_10.14_for_Xcode_10.3.dmg") but did 
not do so for the full Xcode 10 toolbox (trusting this is not required?).

to Xcode 10. This is just general advice for Mojave users, and probably does not relate to this 
problem you're experiencing now.

so the problem persists (rxvt-unicode being the _only_ package which choked during the `port upgrade 
outdated' run) on two machines. in the meantime I did the update on a third one with supposedly 
basically identical setup (OS version, /opt/local content etc.) where I did *not* have the described 
problem.

any idea where should I look now?

thank you,
