Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:31480 lminder@…]:
 > 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.

 We shouldn't be using "system ... chmod ... find" at all; we have native
 Tcl commands for this: fs-traverse, file attributes -permissions, etc.

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

 The directory path where MacPorts ends up building the port may be longer
 than other users'.

 > 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.

 Yes, because that was the change made in 2.5.4_1; see r84554.
