Comment (by greisberger@…):

 @mk:
 Well, the key is perhaps "on a new Yosemite"
 I had successively Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite on m machine,
 with the corresponding MacPorts, Xcode & command line tools.
 But I now remember that I already had this problem when I migrated to
 Yosemite (following https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration).
 I then had these icon generation errors for the 1st time, but forgot to
 report them at this time.

 @rjvbertin:
 Yes, the error is in the cop, because the icon generation command a few
 lines before does not create the icon, although the command is correct.
 Repeating the port command does not help. It fails exactly at the same
 point.
 To successfully install a port, I have to:
 1. sudo port install <port>
 2. if ok, cool, stop here
 3. get last icontool command list in the build log
 4. execute this command with sudo in a terminal
 5. go back to step 1

 I don't know very well MacPorts internals, but since I do a "sudo port
 install", I imagine that icontool should be called with root rights,
 exactly like when I execute the icontool command with sudo.
 That's really weird.

 As far as I can remember, this happened to me only for KDE ports.
 I don't know if there are other, non-KDE ports that use icontool to
 generate icns files.
 Do you know any?
 I could try one to see if it's really linked to KDE ports.
