When running selfupdate scanning binaries found:
'Scanning binaries for linking errors: 9.9% Could not open /opt/local/lib/libtcl8.5.dylib: Error opening or reading file (referenced from /opt/local/bin/expect)'
This was after running port upgrade outdated & involved the ports Tcl & Tk (Tcl 8.5.13 -> 8.6.0_1 & Tk the same) amongst others.
The package manager went on to try to rebuild the ports expect, libnewt & Vim & failed on all but Vim which was uninstalled & then re-installed. The original Vim was compiled with the +tcl variant & the subsequent rebuild excluded it.
I have attached the log files for the failed builds of expect & libnewt...

We could also use this opportunity to update expect to use the tcl 8.6.0 sources. Unfortunately expect does not build with tcl 8.6.0 (regardless of what version of tcl sources it uses). Attached is a patch to update the port, and a log showing how it fails to build. libnewt is a different port maintained by a different maintainer and probably needs a separate ticket. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37450#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
