aria2 @1.37.0 does not compile (apparently, just a sed error when building manuals)

Trying to install aria2 on a MacBook M1 Sonoma 14.2, XCode 15.1:

The problem appears to be the following:

Interesting: I get a clean build with Xcode 15.1.

However, I see

make[4]: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_marius_Development_MacPorts_ports_net_aria2/aria2/work/aria2-1.37.0/doc/manual-src/en'
WARNING: Building only stub man pages. Please install sphinx-build: pip install sphinx

make[4]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_marius_Development_MacPorts_ports_net_aria2/aria2/work/aria2-1.37.0/doc/manual-src/en'

So it seems aria2 needs a doc variant that pulls in sphinx.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

Sure, enough. After I did

sudo port select --set sphinx py311-sphinx

I get the same error.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

The error was in the pt page. I've disabled both pt and ru pages.

aria2: correctly build man page (requires py-sphinx)
