I'm trying to update my MacPorts, and it fails with

Error: Requested variants "+python311" do not match those the build was started with: "+python37".
Error: Please use the same variants again, or run 'port clean xorg-xcb-proto' first to remove the existing partially completed build.
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_x11_xorg-xcb-proto/xorg-xcb-proto/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug.

I have installed python311 and python37, but that didn't help.

And I did try running "port clean xorg-xcb-proto" as recommended with no improvement.

Reset to default

Apparently, I needed to accept Xcode T&C

sudo xcodebuild -license

fixed it. Everything is now working after a couple long builds to build newer gcc versions.

  • If it rebuilds gcc you have something else an issue as they should just be downloaded. Check you have run port selfupdate recently.

What this means is that you had chosen to build xorg-xcb-proto with python37 in the past.

The fix I normally do here is

sudo port uninstall xorg-xcb-proto

The install xorg-xcb-proto with either default or with the exlicit python option you want.

I accept in your case if you have not got the Xcode command line tools then macports might have got confused.
