How did you get libusb installed as i386 on an arm64 machine? Did you migrate your MacPorts installation from an older machine? If so, you need to follow wiki:Migration.

I didn’t. I installed macport so that I could install qdmr. It was in the install of qdmr that the architecture issue appeared and cancelled the installation. From what I see in the console log, the libraries appear to come from macports.org. I’m happy to assist in figuring this out. Let me know what you need and I’ll give it a shot.

According to the output quoted in the ticket description, the libusb port was not installed when you tried to install qdmr, it had already been installed earlier. port -v installed libusb will show the installation date.
