#67334: legacy-support @1.0.9 does not install on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11,
because Source file /opt/local/var/macports/software/legacy-
support/mpextractqTt8R9gl/opt/local/bin/which does not appear to exist
(cannot lstat it)
-----------------------+----------------------------
 Reporter:  ballapete  |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect     |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal     |  Milestone:
Component:  ports      |    Version:  2.8.1
 Keywords:  tiger ppc  |       Port:  legacy-support
-----------------------+----------------------------
 Upgrading went so far quite fine until the step of activation. De-
 activating `legacy-support @1.0.7` succeeded so that I had two unactive
 ports. `Cleaning legacy-support @1.0.9` probably succeeded, and re-
 activating `legacy-support @1.0.7` failed.

 A manual try to activate the just built version failed:

 Trying to `activate` old version @1.0.7_0 fails as well:

 A `selfupdate` did not change anything: build succeeds, next step fails.
 The system is now useless, because `lbzip2` cannot be used and so built
 software cannot be packed out and installed.
