in order to repair my port-system I removed completely the whole

MacBook with Mac OS X 10.4.10).
I installed the window-manager ratpoison as first port. "port
installed" gave me the list with one element as expected.
Then I installed gcc43 ("sudo port install gcc43"). The build was
successful (including the libs), but at the end I got:
================

---> Installing gcc43 4.3-20070907_0+darwin_8
list must have an even number of elements
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I cleaned gcc43 ("sudo port clean gcc43"). And then:
================
port installed
Error: port installed failed: list must have an even number of
elements
No ports are installed.
================
What can it be?

Now I recapitulated the whole sequence I described in my last mail,
except that I installed vim instead of gcc43. Now the "installed"-
selector matches the installed ports as it should.
Thus it seems that gcc43 corrupted my registry of MacPorts.
I have confirmed this issue and filed a ticket:
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12698
We probably need a MacPorts base expert to have a look at it. Even if
there is a bug in the gcc43 portfile, base should not allow a port
bug to corrupt the registry. We either have a bug in base, or a bug
in base and a bug in the portfile.
