icu Failed to destroot. file already exists!

Using one of those new ARM chip MacBookPros, 13 inch. Macports v2.6.4

Trying to install R. Failed at installing icu (also tried icu +universal which results in same error). Tried cleaning everything, but same thing happens each time...

Error: Failed to destroot icu: error copying "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_icu/icu/work/destroot-x86_64//Developer" to "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_icu/icu/work/destroot-intel/Developer": file already exists

I believe this would only happen on subsequent attempts after an initial failed +universal build, and if you clean icu first you will see the initial failure is the same as #45268.

Thanks. I searched up through my terminal and see you are right. The very first run through, it was a "cannot be merged" message. Since then I successfully installed texlive which also installs icu, and it seems to have done it without a problem, so I am hoping that R may install correctly next time I try... :o
