Comment:

 We simply cannot use anything within `${prefix}` when building MacPorts
 itself, as that would create some serious bootstrapping issues. There is a
 dmg for Panther in the works, which I haven't had a chance to look too
 much into lately, my fault, but unfortunately there's not much else we can
 do about this failure than waiting for that dmg and/or 1.6.1 (which
 arguably we could start pushing out sooner than later). The problem has
 been fixed in trunk and will be in 1.6.1, so I'm closing this ticket as
 fixed.

 The reason why about two or three Panther specific bugs caught us by
 surprise is that there just aren't those many boxes out there any longer,
 and we're trying our best to maintain support for that legacy platform.
 Please bear with us!
