py25-pyqt4 failed to complete installation -- no access to pyuic

Similar to bug 16068, I experience a problem installing py25-pyqt4.

Here is a snippet of the debug output of

sudo port install py25-pyqt4

You can delete that file and try again. But you will likely hit another file, which you can delete and then try again. But there may be lots of files like this. I recommend forcing the activate since you likely tried to install this port before it was fixed to workaround the python25 framework bug (see ticket #16068).

sudo port -f activate py25-pyqt4
