Installation of pandoc failed (MacBook Pro M1 running Sequoia)

[Artemio González López]

I am trying to update pandoc from 3.4_1 to 3.6.2_0 on a 2020 MacBook Pro 15” running Sequoia 15.3. However, installation fails with the following error message:

It seems to me that the problem is that the directory

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_pandoc/pandoc/work/pandoc-3.6.2

does not exist. In fact, 

ls -l /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_pandoc/pandoc/work/

total 0
drwxr-xr-x  50 macports  wheel  1600 Jan 12 23:25 jgm-pandoc-fd49684

So there is no pandoc-3.6.2 directory inside …/pandoc/work. Does any body know what is going on, and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance,

Artemio
