Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:31157 ks+macports@…]:
 > Building Linkchecker fails while "Staging linkchecker into destroot"
 with the following Error Message:

 Thanks, this is actually a bug in the new app portgroup. I didn't
 anticipate that the executable might be a symlink to an item that had not
 yet been installed. I did not experience the problem myself because I had
 already installed a previous version of the port.

 > My version of macport is (not available in the dropdown ;-) :

 Thanks, fixed that.
