Error: Processing of port git failed

This may not be relevant, but when calling git after the failed install this error occurs, which seems to suggest the wrong architecture for libpcre2, though I hesitate to report this as a bug since it results after a failed install of git.

$ git --version
dyld[16084]: Library not loaded: '/opt/local/lib/libpcre2-8.0.dylib'
  Referenced from: '/opt/local/bin/git'
  Reason: tried: '/opt/local/lib/libpcre2-8.0.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64))), '/usr/local/lib/libpcre2-8.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libpcre2-8.0.dylib' (no such file)
Abort trap: 6

If you migrated from a different machine, please follow wiki:Migration. Otherwise please clean git, try the installation again, and attach the log if it fails.

That worked. I thought I had intentionally not migrated macports from the old machine but apparently I failed at that. I think this ticket can be closed.

OK, glad you got it working.
