svk install fails whilst activating p5-getopt-long

[jeb@…]

I get the following error whilst trying to install SVK with 'sudo port install svk', seems to be a conflict between a dependent module and the core perl?? This is on a working MacPorts installation, previously used to install apache2.2, php5, etc.

There is no error. You simply need to force the activation of the p5-getopt-long package, as it explained to you. ("You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port")

sudo port -f activate p5-getopt-long

Then you can proceed to install svk.
