 Problem installing python 26 (and thus, jailkit)

 Before opening this ticket, I did the following:
 {{{
 sudo port selfupdate
 sudo port -u upgrade outdated
 sudo port clean
 }}}

 When I try to install jailkit, the instller comes to configuring python
 26, and fails with this error:

 {{{
 Error: org.macports.destroot for port python26 returned: command execution
 failed
 Please see the log file for port python26 for details:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python26/python26/main.log
 }}}

 I then ran:
 {{{
 sudo ports clean --all installed
 sudo port selfupdate
 sudo ports -u upgrade
 }}}
 (Returned: Nothing to upgrade.)

 I ran sudo port install python26 (again).

 ---
 Log attached.

 I've encountered other similar problems, staging tools into destroot.
 System Info: XServe Xeon 2.8Ghz, running OSX 10.5.8.

 When I try to do:
 {{{
 which install-info
 }}}
 The returned info is:
 {{{
 /usr/bin/install-info
 }}}

 The problem that I primarily see is that python is returning an error of:
 {{{
 :info:destroot: file is not of required architecture
 }}}
 I next tried to do this:
 {{{
 sudo port install python26 -arch x86_64
 }}}
 and
 {{{
 sudo port install python26 -arch i386
 }}}

 I was hoping that using the arch switch might help.

 Note: I did not migrate from another system: The OS install was done on
 this machine.

 What can anyone tell me on how to fix this?
