You're pointing to the `universal_variant no` line and the `supported_archs x86_64` line. Certainly, if the port installs files of more architectures than x86_64, those other architectures should be in the supported_archs line too. The port also specifies `use_configure no` later, which is one of the conditions I was referring to previously which causes MacPorts not to create a universal variant (so the `universal_variant no` line is redundant). If a universal variant is desired for a port that does not have a configure phase (and does not use the cmake or makefile or xcode portgroups) the port must implement the universal variant itself. >> On Jun 10, 2022, at 11:23, René J.V.

Also, just a reminder, MacPorts does not complain if you ask to install a port with a variant that does not exist.
