I am trying to upgrade all my apps to their latest version, but

For example, here is my attempt to upgrade libwmf

It appears that perl records what it calls the "architecture" (in this case "darwin-2level-9.4.0") inside its Errno.pm module at build time, and fails if the current architecture does not match it exactly. "9.4.0" is based on the Mac OS X version; looks like you built that port when you had Mac OS X 10.5.4 installed. Now you have Mac OS X 10.5.7 installed, so it complains.

I don't know how to convince perl to relax this check, or whether that's even a good idea. The workaround would be to rebuild perl so that it learns about the current "architecture".

sudo port -nf upgrade perl5.8

Then clean (you don't need --all) any port you were having trouble with and try again.
