xattr on BigSur fails - requires 'x86_64' arch

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
I've reinstalled MacPorts on BigSur. As I have tried to reinstall the ports I had before, including tellico, xattr, which is one of the dependencies, won't install.
Here's the error message:
Error: xattr cannot be installed for the configured build_arch 'x86_64' because it only supports the arch(s) 'i386 ppc'.
I'm not a programmer, so I don't have any idea how to deal with this. Can someone help?
Thanks.

tellico doesn't have a direct requirement for xattr listed.
can you see what is calling for it? port rdeps is usually your friend for this question.

As Ken said, /usr/bin/xattr is part of the operating system on Mac OS X 10.5 and later so you don't need the xattr port except on 10.4.
As far as I can tell, the only port in MacPorts that depends on xattr is libtool, and it only causes the xattr port to be installed if /usr/bin/xattr does not exist.
every system except MacOSX 10.4 Tiger should already have a
/usr/bin/xattrbinary from Apple.You can check to make sure you have it as well... now -- the error would seem to be that something is asking for it to be installed on Big Sur.
