unable to install py27-requests

[vkuznet (Valentin Kuznetsov)]

Hi, I just upgraded my macports to version 2.3.2 on OSX 10.9.5 and while upgrading my port set I found that py27-requests (which is required by py27-ipython) fails to upgrade/install. Here is exact command:

sudo port install py27-requests
--->  Computing dependencies for py27-requests
--->  Installing py27-requests @2.4.3_0
Error: org.macports.install for port py27-requests returned: no destroot found at: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py-requests/py27-requests/work/destroot
Please see the log file for port py27-requests for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py-requests/py27-requests/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port py27-requests failed

The /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py-requests/py27-requests/main.log does not reveal much to me. Anyway, here its content for completion:

Base thinks that it’s already completed the destroot stage, but the destroot doesn’t actually exist for some reason. Run sudo port clean py27-requests and try installing again.
