No, I didn’t write it myself, and I’m sure it was there 3 days ago (see https://github.com/barry-scott/scm-workbench/issues/12), since I installed py37-dmgbuild first and then py27-dmgbuild.
Strange. Seems like my Mac is infested...

Best regards, Hraban

BTW updating MacPorts today fixed poppler-qt5 again, yay! (That one makes trouble all the time.)
But it destroyed all of my pips (py37-pip,py36-pip and py27-pip), I needed to reinstall them.
