MacPorts fails to build dependencies during port upgrade

[boxerfencer@…]

During both sudo port upgrade installed and sudo port upgrade oudated I get failed attempts at building:

gegl ffmpeg a52dec db46 cyrus-sasl2 graphviz libsdl lua openexr ilmbase

And it seemingly loops endlessly.

I also get a "Error: No port gail found." after the "sudo port upgrade oudated" command.

When I tried "sudo port -d sync", failed attempts diminished as in the following.

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gegl ffmpeg a52dec
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

Interestingly, "sudo port -d selfupdate" doesn't report any problems.

Details port -v reports: MacPorts 1.600

And I'm running on a Mac Book Pro running the Yonah x86 processor.

You'll see a complaint about illegal ccache usage, well I deleted ccache and set "configureccache" to "no" in /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf and reattempted to update/upgrade and still encountered the same problem.

The initial error mentioned above (first) follows.

After changing a setting in macports.conf and rebuilding, you'll need to clean what failed, in this case a52dec: sudo port clean --work a52dec. Then try again.
