That looks normal to me. Or did you believe you had the gimp port
installed? What is the output of "port installed"?

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".
I've just read in our new guide that the installer runs
"selfupdate" for
you, which explains why you would already have 1.5.2 right after
installing 1.5.0 from the disk image. Still, please try running
"selfupdate" yourself to see if that changes anything.
I removed existing install, and did a change location to the
partition.
I still have a sym link from /opt/local, and I needed to create
/Volumes/partition/opt/local before it would install.
Anyway it installed, and it did install 1.52, by default which is
different, as previously I had to run selfupdate, but the first
test failed
