Changes (by raimue at macports.org):

  * summary:  evolution 2.22.1_0 fails to activate (or I don't see why it
              takes an hour to not complete) => port activate
              keeps waiting for lock on file_map.db
  * milestone:  Port Bugs => MacPorts base bugs

Comment:

 Did you have another instance of port running in parallel? It may have
 been waiting for a lock on the
 `/opt/local/var/macports/receipts/file_map.db`.

 If this is reproducible and you ''really'' have no other instance of port
 around, delete the file
 `/opt/local/var/macports/receipts/file_map.db.lock`. But normally this
 should happen automatically...

 Hope that helps.
