Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I'm trying to install sphinx on a 2021 MacBook Pro (M1 chip) running OS 12.4 and it fails because it says that a file already exists, but the installer created that file itself. I ran "port clean sphinx" before trying again, and confirmed that the file did not exist at that point, but I got the same error. Here's the error message. The full log is attached as a file.

Error: Failed to destroot sphinx: error copying "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_sphinx/sphinx/work/sphinx-2.2.11-release/org.macports.sphinx.plist" to "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_sphinx/sphinx/work/destroot/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.sphinx/org.macports.sphinx.plist": file already exists
