gss @1.0.4: aclocal-1.16: command not found

[ShadSterling (Shad Sterling)]

2018 Intel macbook just upgraded to Sequoia, sudo port migrate largely failed on #70750, after removing /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++ to fix that, sudo port restore --last also largely fails due to gss

:info:build make: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_security_gss/gss/work/gss-1.0.4'

Autoconf appears to have installed successfully a few ports before gss

[ShadSterling (Shad Sterling)]

Some other tickets suggest this could be caused by missing dependencies, but all dependencies mentioned are installed

automake, autoconf, m4, perl5, pcre, pcre2, nmap, and cctools

In e9cbe148b95b6d79b781a64d816101f1bcdb5410/macports-ports (master):

gss: Autoreconf properly

Closes: #70849

Replying to ShadSterling:

I suspect what those other tickets mean is: ports which should have been listed as dependencies but weren't. In this case, I found that gtk-doc needed to be added.

That fix isn't coming through selfupdate yet, but trying to install it following ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort (with the correction from ​https://superuser.com/questions/598824/previous-version-of-cgal-with-macports-error-unable-to-execute-port-could-no ) it fails with a different error:

... and more of the same form

Is that because the autoreconf is getting something wrong? If it's unrelated and should get a separate ticket, should that wait for selfupdate to get the autoreconf fix?

Still fails for me on an M2 MBA after sequoia migration. Log file attached:

That's #70869.

Replying to jmroot:

That's #70869.

How did you know that? I'm asking because I want to have a better understanding of how this all works.

Edit: Turns out I knew that all along. I just posted to the wrong ticket. Sorry.
