So after downloading the recommended package "​http://adcdownload.apple.com/Java/java_for_mac_os_x_10.6_update_3_developer_package/javadeveloper_10.6_10m3261.dmg" I tried again:

This is an issue with MacPorts base; please select the appropriate component as per the ticket guidelines.

[Users/lalaba] > install git-core @1.7.3.5

Note that MacPorts does not have the capability to specify what version you want to install. MacPorts will ignore the version number you specify, and will just install whatever version is in the portfile.

I am trying to install Kdenlive
I get the same error as her.
I works until it reaches the soprano part.
The log is:

:error:configure soprano requires the Java for Mac OS X development headers.

Then do what the error message told you to do, and install the missing Java headers from the given URL.

The stale interpreter issue was also encountered in #28453.
