 I cannot install py25-html due to too long argument list to chmod when
 staging.

 Example:

 # port install py25-htmldocs
 --->  Computing dependencies for py25-htmldocs
 --->  Staging py25-htmldocs into destroot
 Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command failed (see
 log for details)
 Log for py25-htmldocs is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_lang_py-htmldocs/py25-htmldocs/main.log
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>


 The relevant extract from the log is:
 :info:destroot sh: /bin/chmod: Argument list too long
 :info:destroot shell command "chmod a+r `find
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_lang_py-
 htmldocs/py25-htmldocs/work/destroot/opt/local/share/doc/python25-doc
 -type f`" returned error 126
 :error:destroot Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command
 failed (see log for details)


 It seems it would be possible to fix this by using a for loop, something
 like "for i in `find blah` ;do chmod a+r "$i" ; done.  I haven't tried,
 because I don't know how to correctly quote the $ in tcl.

 I'm not sure why I'm seeing this error while apparently most other people
 aren't.

 The version of py25-htmldocs is 2.5.4_1.  Curiously, 2.5.4_0 seemed to
 install fine, although I can't retry now.
