asymptote @2.70_3: fails to patch on macOS 13.0

[mcmara (Jack McMara)]

First of all, a simple install hangs on applying patches:

$ sudo port install asymptote
--->  Computing dependencies for asymptote
--->  Fetching archive for asymptote
--->  Attempting to fetch asymptote-2.70_3.darwin_22.x86_64.tbz2 from https://ywg.ca.packages.macports.org/mirror/macports/packages/asymptote

--->  Fetching distfiles for asymptote

--->  Extracting asymptote

Adding more verbosity shows the problem:

The patch command above is somehow failing and silently waiting for use input. In fact:

Hitting enter terminates in an error:

Replying to mcmara:

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [y] 

This is happening because you are trying to apply a patch that has already been applied.

Please sudo port clean asymptote and try again. When it fails again, that will show us what the original failure was.

The problem may be that the patch has fuzz:

patching file Makefile.in
Hunk #1 succeeded at 10 with fuzz 1.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 138 with fuzz 2 (offset 1 line).

Another recent ticket on Ventura about a different port suggested that the patch utility on Ventura is no longer willing to apply patches with fuzz. If your log confirms that's the problem, the patch should be regenerated.

Yes: cleaning the port pulled up the original problem. Sorry for that. Here it is the output (the empty lines below is where I had to hit enter to allow the process to respond to the hidden response request):
