python25 universal fails to install on 10.6.3

[artisticforge@…]

hello;

this is a new macports installation. python25 universal fails to install. it is obvious what the problem is. universal to python25 mean "ppc and i386" and not "i386 and x86_64"

python25 is needed by gnome-panel. gnome-panel universal fails because of python25 failing.

DEBUG: Executing org.macports.build (python25)
DEBUG: Environment: MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.6'
DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_python25/work/Python-2.5.5" && /usr/bin/make -j2 all MAKE="/usr/bin/make" CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2"'
/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -c -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot / 

note the last line of the above quote.

i would agree with python25 on the meaning of universal. apple downloads indicate an universal binary will run on both ppc and i386. this is first time i have seen universal mean i386 and x86_64.

this prevents the installation of anything universal (i386 x86_64) that depends on python25.
