Are you sure that's the right ticket? As you can see, I have been following this ticket very closely, and I don't see this error message in this ticket. If it's in there, please point it out to me.

No, I'm saying "Error: Unable to execute port: upgrade (port name) failed" is a generic message. It just means the port failed to upgrade. It says nothing about why it failed to upgrade. The real more-specific error message will be displayed on some line about this line.

Are you running MacPorts 1.9+? We haven't released it yet.
