Error installing policykit-gnome due to gconf schema issue

[Drake, Richard R]

Hello,

I've been trying to install policykit-gnome from scratch for a while now and
for the last few weeks, get an error.  I wonder if someone knows a fix. Here
is what I do:

 % sudo port -f uninstall installed
 % sudo port selfupdate
 % sudo port install policykit-gnome

It gets all through the dependencies but fails activating policykit-gnome.
Here is the error:

...

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

The end of the log file shows

Anybody have ideas?  It seems like the trac ticket system requires an
account now, so I don't know how to inform the package maintainers of a
problem.

Thanks,
