Comment:

 There must be an adverse reaction between the python portgroup, whose
 default behavior is to create a symlink at /opt/local/bin/reinteract
 pointing to
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/reinteract,
 and the reinteract portfile, which has this block (and has had it since
 before the port started using the python portgroup):
 {{{
     post-destroot {
         xinstall ${worksrcpath}/bin/reinteract ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/
     }
 }}}

 Maybe this used to work back in 2012 when this port was last updated. The
 python portgroup has changed a lot since then.

 Actually I do see the problem on my 10.13 system when I build from source
 but not when I get the binary the buildbot created. Maybe there was a
 change in the python portgroup between November 2, 2018 when the last
 (private) archive was successfully created and now.
