Description (last modified by barracuda156)

See: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/17555#issuecomment-1413348049

The same port builds fine in 2.8.0, but fails after I updated Macports to 2.8.1. This also explains multiple failures on CI in that PR, which were a total surprise for me, since everything built fine locally and also built fine on CI earlier (in initial, huge version of the PR which I downscaled, removing 2/3 of ports).

UPD.

I have found the proximate cause: what was previously created as a symlink to extracted source, now is created as an empty directory. Sure enough, nothing works. Already existing R ports are broken too, at least some of them (it seems CRAN-sources ports are broken, but not Github-sourced).

UPD. See above: the reason is changed behavior to port extract.
