Problem installing readline

[Thomas Schober]

Ok, i found the portfile. But such a line is not there. The file looks
like this :

# $Id: Portfile 22478 2007-03-02 05:16:40Z pipping at macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0
name		readline-5
set shortname	readline
version		5.0.005
distname	${shortname}-5.0
categories	devel
maintainers	nomaintainer at macports.org
platforms	darwin

description	Library that provides command line editing
long_description\
		The GNU Readline library provides a set of functions	\
		for use by applications that allow users to edit	\
		command lines as they are typed in. Both Emacs and vi	\
		editing modes are available. The Readline library	\
		includes additional functions to maintain a list of	\
 		previously-entered command lines, to recall and perhaps	\
		reedit those lines, and perform csh-like history	\
		expansion on previous commands.				\
									\
		This version provides limited functionality. It is	\
		intended to be used by ports that require version	\
		5.0. Only the dynamic library is installed, and the	\
		include files are kept in PREFIX/include/readline5.

		--infodir=${prefix}/share/info

post-destroot	{ file delete -force ${destroot}${prefix}/share

		  file delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/libhistory.a
		  file delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/libhistory.dylib
		  file delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/libhistory.5.dylib

		  file delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/libreadline.a
		  file delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/libreadline.dylib
		  file delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/libreadline.5.dylib

		  file rename ${destroot}${prefix}/include/readline
${destroot}${prefix}/include/readline5
}

the online line which could cause this is :
file delete -force ${destroot}${prefix}/share

But the Problem persists when i delete this line.
