Comment:

 I see it too, but it's not an expat issue; it occurs with zlib too, and I
 assume most any other port that installs a manpage that MacPorts will
 compress.

 {{{

 Error: Target org.macports.install returned: could not set attributes of
 "/mp/var/macports/software/zlib/1.2.3_2/mp/share/man/man3/zlib.3.gz":
