problems building a local port

[Artemio Gonzalez Lopez]

I am trying to build locally a port (readline 5.2) by adding

file:///Users/artemio/Archive/dports-dev

to /opt/local/etc/ports/sources.conf, using a modification of the  
standard readline 5.1 portfile that I put in my local port directory  
(/Users/artemio/Archive/dports-dev/devel/readline). After cd'ing to  
said directory, I execute the command

sudo port -dv build

However, this fails miserably as follows:

========================================================================

If I create by hand the missing directory /opt/local/var/db/dports/ 
build/_Users_artemio_Archive_dports-dev_devel_readline/work/ 
readline-5.2 here's the error I get:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

|Bug-Description:
|
|In some cases, code that is intended to be used in the presence of  
multibyte
|characters is called when no such characters are present, leading to  
incorrect
|display position calculations and incorrect redisplay.

Simpler commands like

sudo port -dv fetch

are totally ignored:

I wonder if I'm missing something really obvious here (I used to  
build my local ports with a previous version of darwinports, and  
never had such a problem). Any suggestions/pointers?

Cheers,

Artemio
