Please remember to use WikiFormatting.

I'm not familiar with "macports_34482_fix".

The error seems to be saying that you are trying to uninstall perl5, but you cannot, because there are still ports installed that depend on perl5.

There is nothing to fix here. Since Trac is not for tech support, follow-up on the ​Macports Users mailing list instead.
