xattr on BigSur fails - requires 'x86_64' arch — at Version 5

Port: xattr

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

I've reinstalled MacPorts on BigSur. As I have tried to reinstall the ports I had before, including tellico, xattr, which is one of the dependencies, won't install.

Here's the error message:

Error: xattr cannot be installed for the configured build_arch 'x86_64' because it only supports the arch(s) 'i386 ppc'.

I'm not a programmer, so I don't have any idea how to deal with this. Can someone help?

Thanks.

every system except MacOSX 10.4 Tiger should already have a /usr/bin/xattr binary from Apple.

You can check to make sure you have it as well... now -- the error would seem to be that something is asking for it to be installed on Big Sur.

tellico doesn't have a direct requirement for xattr listed.

can you see what is calling for it? port rdeps is usually your friend for this question.
