Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 I should have mentioned when I said that it builds fine for me that I was
 testing on a Power Mac G4 with Leopard.

 The new log shows a different error:

 {{{
 :debug:extract Executing command line:  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_pkgconfig/pkgconfig/work"
 && /usr/bin/gzip -dc '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/pkgconfig/pkg-
 config-0.27.1.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -

 open: File exists
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
 }}}

 I don't see how the files it's trying to extract could already exist if
 you cleaned the port before trying, which the log shows you did do, so I
 don't understand.

 [http://fvue.nl/wiki/Tar:_Cannot_open:_File_exists This page] says the
 error "Cannot open: File exists" actually means permission denied. But I
 don't understand why permission would be denied for these two files only.
 You did use `sudo` when running the `port` command, right? (`sudo port
 install pkgconfig`) How was MacPorts itself installed—using the dmg you
 can download from our web site, or compiled manually from source? Have you
 been able to install any other ports?

 According to `tar -zf pkg-config-0.27.1.tar.gz` the archive contains 327
 items. gunicodeprivate.h is 138 and gtree.c is 185; not sure what's
 significant about those two files. Does the `port work pkgconfig`
 directory contain other files that were successfully extracted?

 Could you `sudo port clean pkgconfig` again and then try again and see if
 you still get this same error?
