I'm attempting a port upgrade outdated. I have py38-contourpy @1.1.1_0 installed. I get the following error:

--->  Building py38-contourpy
Error: Failed to build py38-contourpy: ln: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_python_py-contourpy/py38-contourpy/work/contourpy-1.2.0/pybind11-config: File exists

is a bug.

The relevant part of the log reads:

No, you're only getting the ln error File exists because you tried to build again after an initial failure without cleaning first.

The real cause, shown in the first attempt in the log, is:
