this worked for me:

sudo port clean --all p5-io-compress
sudo port deactivate p5-compress-zlib
sudo port deactivate p5-io-compress-base
sudo port deactivate p5-io-compress-bzip2
sudo port deactivate p5-io-compress-zlib
sudo port install p5-io-compress

[dmathers@…]

following that I had to uninstall and re-install p5-io-zlib and p5-archive-tar
