 So, I tell MacPorts to `port -Rv upgrade outdated`. Right off it starts
 compiling and everything looks good so I go off and do something else and
 forget about it. I come back and look at my terminal and I'm greeted with
 screens upon screens of something like this:

 {{{

 interspersed with successful builds and sometimes installs. As you can
 see, the errors are sort of repeating.

 Some information: I am running Mac OS X 10.5.2 on a MacBook Pro that I
 bought just last month. MacPorts is 1.6.0, just synced this evening, and
 is installed in /Software/MacPorts (compiled myself, of course). Xcode
 developer tools version 3.0, naturally.

 What in sam hill is going on here?
