Main.log from PPC Tiger

NB #64178 for an idea perhaps, and ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/6740572f80f2f3321dc7ccc5b4070f6bc469f898 for a possible fix.

The real problem is that I removed the source of a symbolic link

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 112 10. Nov 2018  /opt/local/include/copyfile.h -> /opt/local/var/macports/sources/lil.fr.rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/net/rsync-lart/files/copyfile.h

It seems to be part of rsync-lart which is not installed since many years. Anyway, it does not install copyfile.h and neither provides legacy-support this file:

This is true on (PPC) Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11.

I added copyfile.h to legacysupport more than six months ago.

​https://github.com/macports/macports-legacy-support/blob/master/tiger_only/include/copyfile.h

but I guess you are waiting for the new release of legacysupport, which has a PR already waiting
