my ports are screwed up after OS upgrade and port migrate; some things are fine, many are not

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi;

  I can't remember all steps that I took, but all I know now is that I
have a really confused MacPorts status.

First of all, I updated to the new MacOS, 15.0 (Sequoia).

Secondly, I think I selected the update to the Command line tools,
which showed up after the OS update completed.

Then I tried to download and install xCode v16.  Everything
***seemed*** fine at this point.

  I then ran sudo port migrate, and things went belly up.

current state:

following <https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#reinstall-clt>:

pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.{CLTools_Executables,CLTools_Base,DeveloperToolsCLI,DeveloperToolsCLILeo}
2>/dev/null | sed -n 's/^version: //p'
16.0.0.0.1.1724870825

but

sudo port diagnose
Password:
Warning: No Xcode version info was found for your OS version.

I tried many times to install, uninstall, install, upgrade various
ports.  Many fail, (especially low-level dependencies that most ports
require), looks like the tools are not visible...

  I'm stuck in a loop.

  Do I completely do a de-install of MacPorts?  But even then, that
won't solve the problem(s) with the SDK and Command Line tools...

  I was wondering if I should wait until longer update the OS, but I
thought I would go ahead...

  I had issues that I wanted to resolve with arm symbols not found
when running some of the ports (maybe my PATH is really screwed up
when building from source?)...

  So I tried to install some ports as binaries, but some could not be
found for arm64, so that failed.

  I know that clang and clang++ have been updated successfully and all
the things that I have built outside of MacPorts appear to work, but
only some (very few) of the ports work or even exist now.

So, what's my next step?  Re-install the OS? Yikes.

Thanks,

Sigh...
