error during docbook-xml-5.0 deactivation

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

When I uninstall docbook-xml-5.0 the following message is displayed:

--->  Deactivating docbook-xml-5.0 @5.0_1
Error: org.macports.deactivate for port docbook-xml-5.0 returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port docbook-xml-5.0 for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_registry_portfiles_docbook-xml-5.0_5.0_1/docbook-xml-5.0/main.log
Warning: Failed to execute portfile from registry for docbook-xml-5.0 @5.0_1
--->  Uninstalling docbook-xml-5.0 @5.0_1
--->  Cleaning docbook-xml-5.0

I can't obviously look at the log file as it's been removed during the clean process.

What is causing this error?

This failure cannot be reproduced with the current ports, which have been updated to address similar issues:

sudo port uninstall docbook-xml-4.3 docbook-xml-4.4 docbook-xml-4.5 iso8879 docbook-xml-4.2 openjade docbook-sgml-4.2 docbook-utils p5.22-sgmlspm docbook-dsssl docbook-xml-5.0 docbook-xsl docbook-xsl-ns sgml-common
sudo rm -rf /opt/local/etc/sgml /opt/local/etc/xml
sudo port install docbook-xml-5.0
sudo port deactivate docbook-xml-5.0

I recommend that this ticket be closed.
