How should I know it is not a valid email address?! (It could well be an alias to make sure some human sees reports concerning unmaintained ports...) After all, it is reported when asking for `"port info argyll"` output, and there is no warning that it is invalid. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48571#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

That's why we tell you. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48571#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

We should report the problems to the developers so that they can decide which of the two projects, if any, would like to rename their programs. It looks like there has not been a release of num-utils since 2004, so that project may be dead. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48571#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
