VLC @2.0.2 fails to rebuild or install

[nonstop.server@…]

Port VLC got rebuild after upgrading ffmpeg and gave the following error:

configure: error: No package 'libpostproc' found. Pass --disable-postproc to ignore this error.

Exit code: 1
Error: org.macports.configure for port VLC returned: configure failure: command execution failed
DEBUG: Error code: NONE

After this error port VLC was uninstalled and was no longer available for activation.
I was unable to install the port again, it returned the same error.
