p5.12-net-ssleay - @1.550.0 - build failure

[feral.and.abberrant@…]

On my system ( OS X Maverics ) both sshfs && port upgrade outdated, were blocked because the p5.12-net-ssleay installer had an overly specific path for gnutar, which resulted in:

--->  Fetching distfiles for p5.12-net-ssleay
--->  Attempting to fetch Net-SSLeay-1.55.tar.gz from http://sea.us.distfiles.macports.org/macports/distfiles/perl5
--->  Verifying checksums for p5.12-net-ssleay
--->  Extracting p5.12-net-ssleay

gnutar *is* in my path, but it's installed at: /opt/local/bin/gnutar

No file is found at: /usr/bin/gnutar

To 'move beyond' this blockage, I've created a symbolic link so that /usr/bin/gnutar works for ports, for now....

This was the only thing blocking 'port upgrade outdated' on my system, so would rate this as a high priority ...
