Comment(by mk@…):

 I came across the same problem when trying to upgrade ktoblzcheck locally
 to 1.38 (1.37 is currently the most recent version in MacPorts):
 {{{
 $ sudo port installed ktoblzcheck
 The following ports are currently installed:
   ktoblzcheck @1.37_0 (active)

 }}}

 As you can see above extract and even build works just fine, but when I
 try to install it fails.

 The log shows eventually this:
 {{{

 :info:install Warning: the following items did not execute (for

 }}}
 which tells us that MacPorts tried to installed a binary version which it
 ''CANNOT'' find at all, since it still doesn't exist in the repo.

 '''So, I guess, this is a bug with binary versions, isn't it?'''
