port dmg pdftohtml - fails - Root directory "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_pdftohtml/work/destroot" is not valid.

I'm following the examples at ​http://guide.macports.org/#using.binaries

[grahamperrin:~] gjp22% sudo port dmg pdftohtml
--->  Creating pkg for pdftohtml-0.40a
Error: Target org.macports.pkg returned: shell command …

Command output: 
The package could not be created because of the following errors:
Root directory … destroot" is not valid.

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

… I'll paste the full text (wide) to a pastebin.

Please: if sudo port dmg portname is not sufficient:

• is there a better command for building packages, images and ​in MacPorts 1.6 mdmg targets?

mdmg is preferred.

Thanks for any advice.
