Unfortunately with just that information, we can't take any action;  
we can just hope it doesn't happen to anyone else.

If you want to provide the debug output as above, we can look at it  
and try to figure out why you got into this situation; if it looks  
like something others might run into as well, we can perhaps change  
the portfile to either work around it or warn the user.
