Parallel building breaks dpkg; I've disabled it in r60675. Additionally, if you re-run the build, it should actually build to completion.

Wow, that was fast :) I had started to poke at what it would take to bring it up to 1.15.5.2, but this worked great. If I feel like getting a newer version, I'll submit a patch to the Portfile. Thanks!
