Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Dear MacPorts Community,

I am facing the following problem.

I migrated an older MacBookAir (2013, OS Mojave 10.14, Intel) to a new one (2022, OS Ventura 13.0, M2 Chip). Now when I want to install a OS update to 13.1 the system wants a password related to MacPorts from me, which I do not have.

How can I reset the password?

I tried to uninstall macports, which however also did not work. The terminal displays

dlopen(/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib, 0x000A): tried: '/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib' (fat file, but missing compatible architecture (have 'x86_64,i386', need 'arm64')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib' (fat file, but missing compatible architecture (have 'x86_64,i386', need 'arm64'))
    while executing
"load /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib"
    ("package ifneeded macports 1.0" script)
    invoked from within
"package require macports"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 38)

Thanks for the help.

There is no "password related to MacPorts".

To use MacPorts on this computer, you'll need to install MacPorts for Ventura. When it asks you for a password, it's asking for the password that goes with (one of) your computer's administrator account(s).

Operating system updates should not be aware of or care about anything related to MacPorts so they shouldn't be prompting you for any MacPorts-related information. But if that is happening, please show exactly the error message or prompt you're getting.
