Does anybody know when these ports are expected to be fixed? Would there be a way of restoring a port (for example, emacs.app, which I use a lot), to its former version before the migration (which worked1)? The migration documentation also mentions to try

So the only downsides are that it takes some time, and if you have installed any new ports since the snapshot was created, they may end up inactive and need to be manually activated.

Thanks, Josh! In fact, I renamed the /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and got most of my ports to succesfully build after executing “sudo port restore —last”. Unfortunately, there is still a problem with libgcc14 that prevents emacs-app to compile:

Migration finished with errors.
    The following ports could not be restored:
     - emacs 
       Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
     - emacs-app 
       Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
     - gnuplot 
       Skipped because its dependency wxWidgets-3.0 failed
     - julia 
       Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
     - py311-matplotlib 
       Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
     - py311-scipy 
       Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
     - py312-matplotlib 
       Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
     - py312-scipy 
       Skipped because its dependency libgcc14 failed
    The following ports could not be fully restored:
     - py311-jupyter 
       Skipped because its dependency libsodium failed
       state changed from 'installed' to 'inactive'
     - py312-jupyter 
       Skipped because its dependency libsodium failed
       state changed from 'installed' to 'inactive'
     - py312-jupyterlab 
       Skipped because its dependency libsodium failed
       state changed from 'installed' to ‘inactive'

(There is also a problem with libsodium, but that seems less important). Is this problem known? Does anybody suggest a fix/workaround, while things are ironed out?

Thanks in advance,

Artemio
