Comment (by ben@…):

 It could be, a different filesystem actually.  Currently
 /opt/local/var/macports/build is actually a sym link to an external drive
 in order to keep sometimes disk hungry builds from interfering with other
 things on the laptop.  I'll check ...

 Okay, yes, you're right.  The laptop's SSD is case insensitive, but the
 external drive is Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled).  So that's
 why it extracts in build, but then the copy and activation fails.  Excuse
 me a moment while I LART myself.

 Still, with the fs difference in those volumes, restoring the build dir to
 the laptop won't help, the failure will just occur earlier in the process.
 If they were the other way around it'd be different, of course, but I've
 yet to see a technical fault that could be solved with wishing it were so.
 ;)

 Thanks for lodging the gnome bug because obviously it's only a matter of
 time before it hits someone else.  In the mean time, is it possible to
 change the macports copy function to automatically rename files when
 copying and attempt to continue, even if that is restricted to certain
 file types where a rename won't hurt (as in the case of docs where at
 worst there's a URI link failure, unlike with libs or executables)?

 Obviously that shouldn't be default behaviour, but there's a pretty good
 case for it being a desirable option when a couple of HTML files are
 enough to kill the upgrade of everything from bash to wine-devel.
