 Mac OS X v10.6.8 [[br]]
 Macports version 2.1.2

 Xcode 3.2.6 [[br]]
 Component versions: DevToolsCore-1809.0; DevToolsSupport-1806.0 [[br]]
 BuildVersion: 10M2518

 I cannot install any port whatsoever. I'm either getting the "tar: Failed
 to set default locale" error or this no destroot error -

 "Error: org.macports.install for port [NAME] returned: no destroot found
 at:"

 Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 The log shows lines that say "Skipping completed" so this was not a clean
 attempt. Run "sudo port clean libiconv", then try again, and attach the
 new main.log if it fails again.

 The other error you mentioned, "no destroot found", sounds like #29223,
 which is also caused by not cleaning before trying again.

 As for the "tar: Failed to set default locale" error, that of course
 shouldn't be happening; I haven't seen that error befor. That suggests
 something is unusual about your tar command. What's the output of "tar
 --version"?
