 Hello MacPorts gurus,

 This is on a 15.4" MacBookPro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X 10.5.8,
 MacPorts 1.8.0, XCode 3.1.3.

 I was installing rdiff-backup, latest version 1.2.8.  MacPorts was
 installing all the dependencies.  After it installed about 18 of them, it
 got to perl-5.8.9 where the error occurred:

 Just prior to installing rdiff-backup, I installed md5sha1sum
 successfully.  So at this point only the following ports are present:

 I've googled around and searched MacPorts for hints of this same problem,
 but no luck.  Yet it seems weird that nobody else would have run into
 this.  So I suspect that my installation is somehow broken.  Still, there
 is nothing custom on this Mac -- everything was installed using defaults.

 Any help or insight will be much appreciated!
