issue updating curl

[splaisan (Stephane Plaisance)]

running: Mojave 10.14.6 (18G2022 MacPorts base version 2.6.3 target: curl 7.72.0

> sudo port selfupdate
> sudo port upgrade outdated

update failed from previous version complaining about path error, I ended deinstalled curl (and cargo) and tried to install curl fresh again but also failing.

Any help welcome
