Fixed! Re: Recovery from p5-io-compress-zlib conflicts with p5-io-compress?

[David Corking]

Fixed (at least it looks fixed.)   I had not realised that 'clean' can
clean the registry.  All it took to recover was
$ sudo port clean p5-io-compress

Below, for completeness, is a shorter and more pleasing transcript of
the repair.  I am on Intel Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger.

Sorry to those who were investigating this simultaneously.

Best regards, David
