can't read "configure.ld_archflags" error while upgrading mercurial

[Kastus Shchuka]

Hi,

I noticed a new version of mercurial after running port sync but when  
I tried to upgrade mercurial I bumped into the following error:

I tried to search in trac and saw similar errors reported (and fixed)  
in other ports. I am not sure that I discovered something new as there  
is an upgrade to v 1.5.3 commited yesterday.

Shall I file a trac ticket for this one?

It's on PPC iBook G4 running OSX 10.5.8, macports 1.8.2.

Thanks,
