Pseudo-portnames
----------------
Pseudo-portnames are words that may be used in place of a portname, and
which expand to some set of ports. The common pseudo-portnames are:
all, current, active, inactive, actinact, installed, uninstalled, outdated,
obsolete, requested, unrequested and leaves.
These pseudo-portnames expand to the set of ports named.

Pseudo-portnames starting with variants:, variant:, description:, depends:,
depends_lib:, depends_run:, depends_build:, depends_fetch:, depends_extract:,
portdir:, homepage:, epoch:, platforms:, platform:, name:, long_description:,
maintainers:, maintainer:, categories:, category:, version:, revision:, and
license: each select a set of ports based on a regex search of metadata
about the ports. In all such cases, a standard regex pattern following
the colon will be used to select the set of ports to which the
pseudo-portname expands.

Pseudo-portnames starting with depof:, rdepof:, dependentof:, and rdependentof:
select ports that are direct or recursive dependencies or dependents of the
following portname, respectively.

Portnames that contain standard glob characters will be expanded to the
set of ports matching the glob pattern.
    
Port expressions
----------------
Portnames, port glob patterns, and pseudo-portnames may be logically
combined using expressions consisting of and, or, not, !, (, and ).

Please remember to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac, and preview before submitting to ensure you got it right.

You've pasted a lot of irrelevant terminal output above. The ultimate error appears to be that aspell failed to build. It's impossible for us to know why this happened unless we see aspell's main.log file, so please attach it.

The output also included this very important message:

Warning: xcodebuild exists but failed to execute
Warning: Xcode appears to be installed but xcodebuild is unusable; some ports will likely fail to build.
Warning: You may need to run `sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app`

You should follow this suggestion, and if you need further help getting xcodebuild to work properly, write to the macports-users mailing list.

Hi amatasc,

can you please provide the information suggested by ryandesign? Otherwise I'll close this as worksforme...

Best
