That looks normal to me. Or did you believe you had the gimp port
installed? What is the output of "port installed"?
[mac27:~/sun/info] bmcinnes% sudo port install gimp2
Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name
"destroot.violate_mtree"

destroot.violate_mtree was added in MacPorts 1.5.1 and improved
quickly in 1.5.2.
You installed 1.5.0 from the disk image for Leopard, I presume? Did
you then "sudo port selfupdate" to upgrade to 1.5.2? I mean, "port"
says you're running 1.520, a.k.a. 1.5.2, but its behavior matches
that of 1.5.0. So this is odd.
I have reinstalled Xcode 3.0, done port sync, looked through archives,
but there seems to be no total solution ?
The total solution for 'invalid command name
"destroot.violate_mtree"' should be to update to MacPorts 1.5.2 by
using "sudo port selfupdate".
