Build failure during install py25-gtk on Mac OS X 10.6 using MacPorts 1.8

Question

When I do this command :

sudo port clean py25-gtk
sudo port install py25-gtk

I get this error :

--->  Computing dependencies for py25-gtk
--->  Building getopt

For information getopt isn't installed with macports, it's in /usr/bin/getopt

The solution is to reinstall all ports because I upgraded to a new OS version (10.5 -> 10.6).

To reinstall your ports, save the list of your installed ports:

port installed > myports.txt

Clean any partially completed builds, and uninstall all installed ports:

sudo port clean installed
sudo port -f uninstall installed

Browse myports.txt and install the ports that you actually want to use (as opposed to those that are only needed as dependencies) one by one, remembering to specify the appropriate variants:

sudo port install portname +variant1 +variant2 ...

To resolve my problem, i can do and :

sudo port install py25-gtk

Now it's work !
