Cc Me! {{{ The portfile was the latest because I ran selfupdate before I tried to upgrade initially.

But macports calls it anyway. Stopping the build. The prefix variable in the mercurial Makefile and setup.py is still set to /usr/local (there are no patches). I think the problem I am having is at a lower level than the mercurial port, but the port itself does not appear to be correct for the tarball being downloaded. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18408#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
