Replying to zouhu0628@…: OK, I find the solution: just use port install intltool +universal

It really doesn't make sense that that would fix anything, especially since intltool does not have a universal variant. It doesn't even install any architecture-specific files, so "universal" has no meaning for it.

[zouhu0628@…]

But what is the problem, and how to resolve it

[zouhu0628@…]

and I find similar error in installing other package

I thought you said you found the solution already?

Then file tickets for them, please.

This has been reported many times before, and has always been either:

• p5-xml-parser is built for different archs than perl and/or expat (e.g. didn't follow Migration)
• p5-xml-parser is installed against perl5.x but perl5.y is active

[mikko@…]

I got this same error while trying to install py26-pygtk.

Here are instructions to work around the problem

See from path what perl version has been used for XML::Parser (check file paths)

port contents p5-xml-parser

Show what actual perl version has been installed

port installed perl5

Then you can force reinstall of p5-xml-parser

sudo port -n upgrade --force p5-xml-parser

(Thanks for jmr_mp for guiding)
