Problem installing package

[R T]

My company started to move to the Mac for our system development so I am new to Macports. Our current system requires the use of python 2.3 during its build process. I was attempting to use macports to install python23 and ran into a problem. Below is a listing with the error. Any insite would be helpful. 

$ sudo port -v -d install python23
