py27-distribute Unable to upgrade port

[mike.english@…]

In trying to upgrade outdated packages, I encountered an error with py27-distribute.

$ sudo port upgrade py27-distribute
--->  Computing dependencies for py27-distribute
--->  Staging py27-distribute into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command failed
Log for py27-distribute is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py27-distribute/main.log
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

Here's the end of the log:

So it looks like maybe my crypto lib is broken...? Has anyone else encountered similar errors?

(If I've mis-filed this ticket, please correct me. I'm new here.)

It may or may not help to know that I'm running OS X 10.5.8 on a 1.5Ghz PowerPC G4.

This may be something like the opposite problem of what was encountered here: #19461 I'm not sure how this happened or how to fix it though.

$ python2.7 -c 'import _hashlib;print dir(_hashlib)'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

$ port installed openssl
The following ports are currently installed:
  openssl @1.0.0a_0 (active)

You need to rebuild python27 against openssl 1.0. It was rev bumped, so that would have happened automatically in the course of upgrading your outdated ports unless you did something interesting with activating old versions or using -n.

Thanks! I just rebuilt and came back to find your comment. worksforme too.

I think I broke things by following advice found ​here to run

sudo port -nuf upgrade outdated

as a way of keeping things clean.
