On a fresh Catalina (10.15) install with Xcode 11.1 and the latest CLI tools I 
cannot seem to activate any ports. Most seem to configure and build correctly, 
but fail when they reach the activation step. Attached is the log for an 
attempted installation of ncurses that has this activation step failure and 
occurs no matter what the port. 

From the log itself, it looks like bsdtar is the culprit? Bsdtar fails with 
this command "Command failed: /usr/bin/bzip2 -d -c 
/Users/sesser/MacPorts/var/macports/software/ncurses/ncurses-6.1_0.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2
 | ( bsdtar -xvp --hfsCompression -f - )”

This is the bsdtar found at /usr/bin/bsdtar.

Wanted to post this here to make sure there wasn’t a quick fix etc for this 
before I file a formal bug.
