Well, I wonder whether someone did something within the last day or two. I just tried it again, and lo-and-behold, perl5.26 installed just fine & now MacPorts is getting to work on the backlog of things that I could not update because of this problem.

This after I just found out (in debug mode) that the perl5.26 port actually was not able to get its files; the fetch errored out with a 404 error for all attempts. What is odd is that it proceeded to do a bunch of things after that & even went to the destroot phase. I would love to send the log, but the renewed attempt was to generate the log so I could pack it up & send it, only for now the install succeeded making this moot.

So, my thanks go out to whomever fixed this.

Uli

This looks as the same problem we have with MySQL57, where it's using
the system cctools instaead of the more modern cctools from macports.

The fix is described here :
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59072#comment:1

declare usrBin='/usr/bin'
declare devBin="/Developer${usrBin}"

while read -u 9 cctool
do
     theTool=$( basename ${cctool} )
     echo ${theTool}
     for binDir in "${usrBin}" "${devBin}"
     do
         mv -n "${binDir}/${theTool}" "${binDir}/${theTool}.orig"
         rm "${binDir}/${theTool}"
         ln -s "${cctool}" "${binDir}/${theTool}"
     done
done 9< <( port contents cctools | fgrep /bin/ )

On my 2 x 10.6.8 I've got :
#=> port installed perl*
The following ports are currently installed:
   perl5 @5.28.3_0+perl5_30 (active)
   perl5.30 @5.30.3_3 (active)
