MTree violation error when building port

[Samuel M. Smith]

When I try to install xpdf using macports 1.510 it fails (actually on  
the first dependency ghostscript)

.... ---> Staging ghostscript into destroot Error: violation by /opt/ 
local/man Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: mtree violation!

I noticed in the archive that this problem was reported before and a  
new version of macports is needed to fix it. When will the new  
version be posted as I am dead in the water until then.

I tried downgrading to macports 1.3.2 by deleting /opt and  
reinstalling but sudo port install xpdf chokes with

albook:samuel$ sudo port install xpdf
Password:
Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name "universal_variant"


Also tried macports 1.4 but it has the mtree violation. So basically  
can't do anything with macports until its fixed.
