Problem installing python 26 (and thus, jailkit)

Before opening this ticket, I did the following:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -u upgrade outdated
sudo port clean

When I try to install jailkit, the instller comes to configuring python 26, and fails with this error:

Error: org.macports.destroot for port python26 returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port python26 for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python26/python26/main.log

I then ran:

sudo ports clean --all installed
sudo port selfupdate
sudo ports -u upgrade

(Returned: Nothing to upgrade.)

I ran sudo port install python26 (again). --- Log attached. ---

I've encountered other similar problems, staging tools into destroot. System Info: XServe Xeon 2.8Ghz, running OSX 10.5.8.

When I try to do:

which install-info

The returned info is:

/usr/bin/install-info

The problem that I primarily see is that python is returning an error of:

:info:destroot: file is not of required architecture

I next tried to do this:

sudo port install python26 -arch x86_64

and

sudo port install python26 -arch i386

I was hoping that using the arch switch might help.

Note: I did not migrate from another system: The OS install was done on this machine.

What can anyone tell me on how to fix this?

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers python26).

FYI, I have updated the jailkit port to the latest version and to use python 2.7.

Python 2.7.6 also refuses to stage into root. (Please see log.)

Hmm, the logs say:

I do not see this problem on Mac OS X 10.5.8 with Xcode 3.1.4 (nor any other system).

Please confirm: what version of Xcode do you have? If not 3.1.4, try upgrading to that, since it is the latest version for Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Closing since there is no response to comment:4, and I am unable to duplicate the problem.
