Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I have upgraded from Mountain Lion to El Capitan and am migrating following the instructions at Migration. The one snag is that I cannot deactivate the old version of boost:

--->  Deactivating boost @1.58.0_3+no_single+no_static+python27

Others have reported this error before, e.g. in #32700 and https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2012-February/017837.html. In that mailing list post, the error was determined to be the result of a single-bit corruption.
