Comment:

I am not certain whether "can't read "{os.platform}": no such variable" is a relevant or correct error. MacPorts sometime prints an incorrect error at the end of a failed operation. I don't know what port it thinks the problem is in. os.platform is a variable that exists in MacPorts. Only a handful of ports use it, and glancing at the code I don't see any that use it improperly. So I am inclined to ignore this error.

The error "org.macports.install for port pkgconfig returned: no destroot found at: ..." is definitely relevant. This error means you must clean the affected port and try again. In this case: run "sudo port clean pkgconfig". Cleaning and trying again is the first thing you should do anytime any port fails.

Ports should not normally be broken. I suspect the reason why MacPorts thinks minicom is broken on your system is that minicom uses ncurses, though it does not declare a dependency on it, and so it needs to be rebuilt following the recent update of ncurses to version 6. I fixed this in r140150. To receive this change, wait 30 minutes, then run "sudo port selfupdate". Then you can "sudo port upgrade outdated" to rebuild minicom.
