CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed

[Christian Voelker]

Hello,

has anybody had this before?

[cvoelker:~] cvoelker% sudo port sync
2007-08-10 15:08:17.032 tclsh[2036] CFLog (0):
         CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the  
data is not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:
         (UNKNOWN)
         The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be  
corrected in the plist.

The message occurs as soon as I use port in conjunction with sudo and  
only then.
The message does not occur with other commands and sudo such as "sudo  
ls".
The same is true with "tclsh" (works fine) and "sudo tclsh" (throws  
message).
Trying to track this down I tried this in a second Terminal window:

There is nothing listed that looks like a .plist file to me.
There are no other XML-Files. There are no Files recently changed.
The last time I used port successfully may be one month ago.
I threw away many Preference files vom ~/Preferences/ but could not
find anything related to tclsh; it didnt help as well.
I searched for such thing as ~/.tclshrc or /etc/tcl* but did not
find anything.

Are there any configuration files that I might check inside the
macports tree? Is it common that /usr/bin/tclsh is used (version 8.4)?
My macports are 1.5 my MacOS is 10.4.10 running on a Mac mini G4.

Thanks for pondering with me, Christian
