p5.12-parse-recdescent fails to upgrade

["René J.V. Bertin"]

I have a whole bunch of p5.12* ports installed, most all dependencies of things that ought to depend on a more recent version of perl by now. Is there a way to clean this up, without having to figure out the depending ports and reinstall those?


BTW, the build failure is because 

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Volumes_Debian_MacPorts_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-parse-recdescent/p5.12-parse-recdescent/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4

doesn't exist. (/opt/local is a symlink in my case ... and indeed I disabled port's sandboxing feature)
