mac ports error

[Tim Eberhard]

All,

I've checked the faq and known issues as well as searched google for this
problem, but I was wondering if anyone else is encountering this issue.

I reinstalled ports after upgraded to Snow Leopard. I downloaded the latest
xcode (xcode3210a432) and installed the latest ports
(MacPorts-1.8.0-10.6-SnowLeopard)

Something is majorly borked with ports right now though.

I would appreciate any input and advise on how to fix this. I already
uninstalled all my previous ports and I would *really* like them back :)

Thanks,
