 A large number of ruby port are broken when you try to install from trunk
 installation. This  is the error message.
 {{{
 Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: can't read "file": no such
 variable
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}
 I thought it might have been the "type" of installation passed to the
 command {{{ruby.setup}}}, which is provided by ruby port group.
 A check against the existing set ruby ports does not confirm this
 theory.

 Here a list of a manual bulk check I did just now. An "X" in the first
 column means the above mentioned error occured. (X* means some
 other error prevented successful install.)
