For a reason I don't know, port loops between ffmpeg6 and ffmpeg8 and
ends up here.
Could be I posted this in another context here recently. But presently
I'm clueless how to solve this situation.
There are separate ports for ffmpeg6 and ffmpeg8. I thik the above
output is consistent with you having both ports present, and the ffmpeg6
port being broken. Try this command:
% port installed ffmpeg6 ffmpeg8
I expect it will indicate that you have both ports present.
A next step might be to focus on the section beginning, "Error:
rev-upgrade failed", and try to fix your copy of the ffmpeg6 port.
