When running sudo port install bugzilla command the following occures:

I understand that mysql5 port is deprecated. Can you suggest how to configure bugzilla install to use active mysql port? Thank you

pretty helpful to include the log here in the ticket. it's here:

I agree there is a build failure but the log isn't very clear about what it thinks the problem is.

Do you really need the mysql5 port? It is obsolete and shouldn't be used anymore. If you need this ancient version of mysql, use the mysql51 port. Otherwise, use a newer mysql port, like mysql55, mysql56, mysql57, or mysql8.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ah, I see: you are trying to install bugzilla which by default depends on the mysql5 port. However, if you check the output of port variants bugzilla, you'll see that it has a mysql57 variant which will use that port instead.

sudo port clean bugzilla mysql5
sudo port install bugzilla +mysql57

The bugzilla port doesn't have a maintainer so it is out of date in more ways than this. If you or anyone wishes to volunteer to bring it up to date, please do!
