Comment:

 Hopefully, r149072 fixed the problem.[[BR]]
 {{{xinstall}}} should not use the {{{-p}}} switch (I was probably thinking
 of {{{mkdir -p}}}).[[BR]]
 Perhaps this caused {{{xinstall}}} and a few subsequent commands to fail
 silently until {{{/usr/bin/plutil}}} complained.[[BR]]
 On my system at least, {{{/usr/bin/defaults}}} does fail silently if the
 file it is attempting to write to does not exist.

 Please run
 {{{
 sudo port clean octave
 sudo port selfupdate
 sudo port install octave
 }}}
 and see if octave installs.[[BR]]

 Thanks for your help in tracking down this problem.
