Error Staging into Destroot for python26 and others.

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sudo port -u upgrade outdated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?
