readline: error: 'LC_CTYPE' undeclared

[bbarth@…]

After a selfupdate, while trying to upgrade outdated packages, I ran into the following problem:

rye(49)$ sudo port upgrade readline
--->  Computing dependencies for readline
--->  Building readline
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for readline is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_readline/main.log
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

I tried uninstalling it and re-executing the command to no avail.

Here's the message from the log:

Uninstalling readline has left me with a bunch of unusable packages, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

My title doesn't make a lot of sense. It should say "...fails to upgrade or install". Sorry.

It might help to have the complete log. Clean and try again and attach the complete main.log file.

sudo port clean readline
sudo port install readline
