Error: The following dependencies failed to build: MacPorts_Framework
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

If it's relevant: I had previously set aside then restored
/usr/local/include/db.h
to allow installation of subversion.

db44/db.h isn't relevant, but it seems you have multiple installations of the MacPorts.framework ?

Remove the one you have installed yourself, or -f the activation of the port to move it aside...

Replying to afb@macports.org:

multiple installations of the MacPorts.framework ?

Not knowingly, this is a relatively clean installation. AFAIR the only thing I have done since my most recent clean installation of MacPorts on this MacBook Pro is ​attempt to produce a disk image of wv.

Remove the one you have installed yourself, or -f the activation of the port to move it aside...

that seems OK, but then
sudo port install pallet fails.

There are some Googe Summer of Code applications that will affect the MacPorts_Framework, so I'm holding off on fixing it until that process gets worked out.

The framework saw lots of work during 2008's GSoC (see MacPorts.Framework_Roadmap); speak up if this occurs with 0.1.0 of MacPorts_Framework.
