This is a duplicate of #48684.
but it's actually this, a few lines below, that names the cause:
{{{ DEBUG: Failed to locate 'lbzip2' in path: '/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin' or at its MacPorts configuration time location, did you move it? }}}
The log you attached doesn't contain that line. But if you did see that line in another attempt, I believe it is caused by a longstanding but hard-to-diagnose MacPorts base bug that causes it to print an incorrect error message sometimes when builds fail.
Although it's useless to install a parallel bzip2 on a 7447A CPU I have started `port install lbzip2`…
You're correct that if you have a single-core machine, there is no benefit to installing a parallel bzip2 implementation such as lbzip2 or pbzip2. MacPorts automatically uses these if found, to help users of multi-core machines, but is happy to use the single-threaded bzip2 program included with OS X if you don't have them installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48694#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
