snowleopardfixes is obsolete; please uninstall it.

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

You must have not upgraded that machine for a very very long time, as snowleopardfixes was replaced some time ago now. Not upgrading machines for extended periods can lead to problems when you do, and is not advised.

In this case do what it says below. Uninstall the port and try again.
