gperf @3.0.4_2 extract error on Mavericks

[carmine.ventre@…]

Hi,

after updating OSX to Mavericks I run a port selfupdate and then port upgrade outdated. The only new port is gperf @3.0.4_2. It fails to extract (also tried doing a couple of cleans). Log is attached.

Looks like a missing dependency:

:debug:extract Executing command line:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_gperf/gperf/work" && /usr/bin/gzip -dc '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gperf/gperf-3.0.4.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -
:info:extract sh: /usr/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory

So I tried to install manually gnutar which somehow wants to install expat:

:debug:extract Executing command line:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_expat/expat/work" && /usr/bin/gzip -dc '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/expat-2.1.0.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -
:info:extract sh: /usr/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory

Well … no quick workaround here. It seems that Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks completely lacks of gnutar and thus breaks a lot of things here.
