 A few days back I did a install/upgrade command which gave the following
 error reported under debug mode:

 I used '-p' when invoking 'port'; so it continued despite all these
 errors.  I assume this has left my Macports in an inconsistent state; some
 of my port install's/upgrade's seem to be failing with the same error.  I
 know absolutely nothing about Macports design/impl., so I do not know
 where to begin debugging this error, and I suspect debugging this will
 involve fixing more than one Macports file/portfile.
 I googled around and found only this post:
         http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 users/2006-October/000405.html
 but this post remains unanswered.  Is there a nice, clean, quick way to
 resolve this issue?  I have attached logs for relevant 'port
 install/upgrade' commands.  This is a summary of the errors:
