py26-scipy build fails on 10.5

[carson@…]

When trying to build and install py26-scipy fails noisily:

$ sudo port install py26-scipy
Warning: Group file could not be located.

Command output: sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

I suspect this might be due to a missing dependency?

The important part is

Warning: Group file could not be located.

You're missing the python26 portgroup file. If you're actually using MP < 1.7.0, you need to upgrade. If you're using 1.7.0, you may have somehow deleted the file, in which case you need to sync, or you may have the wrong (or no) source set as default in sources.conf.

This problem was resolved by selfupdate and upgrading to 1.7.0. However now python reports that scipy's self test is failing. I've attached the lengthy error log.

Yes, that's explained in the port description and the post-activate message.
